Centerpieces for Everyday Parties

Pretty things really catch my eye! Take for example these simple yet elegant centerpieces. Both of them remind me of spring ladies luncheons. The first one is just a pile of ribbon spools in assorted styles and sizes piled one on top of another. After stacking a few you can put a pretty plate on top with a few appetizers on it to set the table. How much simpler can it get right? Want to make your ribbon go the extra mile? Use some of it on your invitations or to decorate your favors if you have any to give. You can pull it all together with with this inexpensive embellishment.

The second one is made of six boxes of Jell-O powder mixed with half the water specified. When the gelatin is semi-firm in their glass vases you just push your choice of decorations into it. It just could not get any easier! These beautiful centerpieces for everyday parties and many others can be found here on Rachael Ray's website. As usual have a happy crafty day!

I wonder how I'd keep the kids from playing in that Jello one! LOL! It would look really pretty outside in the sunshine, I bet.
