A Glossy, Charming Twist: DIY challenge part 1, florals

Hello lovers!!!
I have finally returned :)
I'll catch you all up on life lately tomorrow...
but thought it would be fun to kick off the week & my blogging return
with a fun DIY challenge that Emily of Isn't That Charming and Alyssa of The Glossy Life approached me with...
the idea is that one of us picks a theme each month and we each create our own DIY for $25 or less!
fun, right??!!

The first challenge, from Emily, is florals (one of my personal faves!)
I, of course, put together a floral inspired table setting for an ice cream social :)
(you know how I love table settings!!!)

Take a peek...

I wanted a bright & fun setting that would be perfect for a springtime ice cream social :)
DIY: floral garland centerpiece
To put the garland together:
* for tissue paper flowers, you can refer here for DIY instructions.
* simply arrange tissue pom-pom florals in a snake formation - or how ever you see fit! (make sure to make it pretty from all sides!!!) * add in a simple vase of gorgeous REAL blooms for extra texture & a kick of au natural * add in little extra details...i popped in some balls that i had in the same color just for a kick of extra fun! * voila! easy peasy floral table setting just in time to finish out spring ;)

my total cost:

Technically i spent $20, if you count the peonies ;)
But, the diy portion was technically free for me because i already owned all of the supplies
If you did this yourself, your total cost would probable end up just under $25 -
you would need fringe scissors (about $15) and tissue paper (you might spend $10 on a couple packs)

You can look forward to these challenges once a month! I'm already excited for the next!

And I can't wait to catch up with all of you!
Missed you & blogging so, SO much!!!
Have a lovely Monday :)
