Centerpiece Idea for Only $3!

If you visit Pinterest often, you have likely seen these decorative green grassy globes at some point.

I think they are quite pretty and really ideal for on a fireplace mantel, island, or as a table centerpiece. You can purchase them for around $20 from Homesense – or you can make one yourself for only $3.

To make this decoration, you will need one square of decorative green foliage (from the dollar store), safety pins, and a pot. I bought my little green pot from Dollarama for $1.

This craft really could not be easier. Simply turn your foliage square upside down and pin the 2 opposing corners together with a safety pin like this:

Then pin the other 2 corners together the same way.

Now, simply gather in a little of one side and a little of the other, pinning to those main two safety pins. Keep pinning until you achieved a globe-like shape.

Place this globe onto your pot, bowl, or jar with the safety pinned side down - and that’s it, you’re done!

These little decorations look beautiful inside the home or outside. They would even make a lovely centerpiece for wedding tables.

With just a bit of time, and some creativity, you can save yourself $17 by making these grassy globes yourself!
