Today I have an exciting request to make a beauty and the Beast wedding centerpiece. And here’s my version of it. Here we go. Alright, guys, so here are all of the items that I’m going to be using to make my beauty and the Beast wedding centerpiece. And I’m going to start by showing you This big, beautiful vase that I found at Wal-mart for $14.99. After shopping around, this was the best deal I could find for this size and this glass vase is 5.4 inches by 15 inches, and I love it, It’s solid and it feels like it cost more than $14.99. It’s a great buy. I’m also going to be using this round cutting board from Dollar tree. I’m going to use two of this block floral foam. I’m also going to need red roses, of course. This bouquet here I bought from Walmart and I love it. These are open roses. I’m also going to be using red roses from Dollar tree. These are more closed roses initially. I meant to use all Dollar Tree roses. But after going around to different stores, I just didn’t find enough roses to make my arrangement. And that’s how I ended up with these roses from Walmart. But things happen the way there supposed to. And I love these. These are going to be great because they’re open and They just want to make the whole arrangement. Look, Fuller, so Perfect, and I’m also going to need this transparent cord. This is just a clear string. And, Of course, my hot glue gun. All right, let’s get started. First thing I’m going to do is turn my base upside down the reason. I’m doing this is because I’m not sure yet. If I want to add any lighting to the inside of the base And I’m going to be able to access that if I want to and some type of lighting that you may want to use. Are these lumineers? From dollar tree or you can add a push light to the top of the base. So since I’m not sure whether I want to add lighting or not until I’m done with the project, I’m just going to. Do this just in case. Now I’m going to take off this Thingy here. That’s a little the name of the clear thingy here. You can do with my fingers there you go. This rub. This rubber thingies are glued to the bottom of your cutting board. Your just going to pop this off? You can do it with your nails or you can use scissors. Just be careful! And then you’re going to glue these cutting boards on top of your base. Now I’m going to glue. Both foams on top of the cutting board. I’m going to start my arrangement with my open roses, and I’m going to be cutting them about six inches long because I want them to extend quite a bit past my vase and As I go along. These stems are going to get shorter, but for now in the outside. They are going to be six inches long. Here’s what I have so far and These are all still six inches long for the stems, But what I did was with the second row here on top. I push the stems in to the foam a little bit further in. Now, I’m going to add the rest of the roses here in the middle. Now I’m going to add some of this Leftover leaves, so it can have a more natural look. My next step is going to be to hang a single row with my. Transparent cord to the inside of the base and to tell you the truth that should have been the very first step before making the arrangement, but I just didn’t want to give up the theme. Look at the beginning of the video, so I decided to wait until the end, and Now I’m going to make my life difficult because I don’t want to mess up the beautiful arrangements. So wish me luck to hang my rose. I’m going to be adding a little bit of hot glue to the middle of the rose. And then I’m going to insert my Transparent cord to the middle there as well so they can bond together. Now here’s what it should look like, pretty nice. Now I’m going to measure how much string I need to hang it from the base so to hang it inside the vase and You want to make sure that you are suspended. 2 inches from the bottom. So you can look like it’s floating, and Then I’m going to need this much from the top. So I’m going to cut right here. I’m going to cut right there. Now my challenge is going to be to glue it inside because of my arrangement here. So Yeah, let’s do it. All right, guys, I had to switch to my smaller, hot glue gun, so it could fit easily inside my vase and now. I’m going to just go in here and add glue right here in the middle, a Generous amount, but not too much. Because you don’t want it to make a mess and then grab your rose. Grab the Cord and just Place it in the middle of the glue that you just put in there and just hold it for a sec until it dries a little. And that’s it, That’s pretty much it. Here’s the arrangement so far, but I feel like it looks a little blah right here at the bottom, so I decided to grab this round candle holder as a base, it is going to give it a little bit of more height. Just apply a bit not much. And then I’m going to add these petals that I made from cutting one of the roses here. So I just cut the off and make these petals, so I’m just going to glue a couple of petals on here and Then I’m going to place this candle holder, or I’m going to glue this candle holder to the bottom of the base. I’m going to turn my candle Holder upside down, and I’m going to be gluing the petals to the backside of it. Not the front side, the backside, and I’m going to specially cover the little legs. Make sure cover that, so you can’t see them. Here’s what it should look like as you can see. I’m using the back of the candle. Holder and This should also give it a little height. Now I’m going to add glue around the candle holder and then place the vase back here right on top. And here it is so far now. Now I’m going to probably add a couple of crystals to make it pop a little bit. And that’s it alright, guys? This is that this is my beauty and the beast wedding centerpiece or at least my version of it. I did ended up, adding some crystals down here to the bottom of my arrangement. It’s a little subtle because it’s hiding underneath the roses here. But it still gives it a little pop that I was looking for. I did chose to not use the luminaires. But I’m kind of second guessing it. So if lighting is something that you want or something that you need, go ahead and go for it. I hope this video is helpful to the young lady who requested it and a help is helpful to you. Alright, until next time bye.
