The secret to this Mad Tea Party Centerpiece DIY Craft Project is the Styrofoam Balls in the bottom of the flower pots which serve as the base. Stick bamboo skewers into the Styrofoam ball and then added paper straws over top to disguise the skewers. Next, sew rosettes from crepe paper to top the straws, adding paper punched shapes with EK Success Paper Punches. Whether you're looking for birthday party craft ideas or just want to turn a standard dinner into a more memorable event, this project is perfect for you. The colors are fun and inventive and the design is unlike anything else.
