Summon In Spring With A Stunning Dollar Tree Wine Glass Floral Centerpiece

A wine glass from Dollar Tree is ideal to transform into an elaborate and beautiful DIY centerpiece. Instead of holding a rich merlot or a favorite sparkling water, your glass becomes the star of the show, or table, with this creative project! To craft it, you'll use one stemmed glass, real or fake flowers, a candle, and vase fillers. After you're done, you'll have a stunning floral centerpiece you can use to decorate your dining table this spring, all made with affordable crafting staples from the discount retailer.

Dollar Tree has multiple wine glass options, so your selection may be limited to what you can find on your store's shelves. A good bet is the Long-Stemmed White Wine Glass. Next, you'll need a candle (if you don't already have one), Floral Garden Pearl Beads, a bag of white decorative sand, and a Stemless Wine Glass. It's up to you what flowers you use in this craft, from hydrangeas to roses, or even a common symbol of spring, such as lilacs. Just ensure that you have enough flowers that can easily crown the top of your glass. The original project creator,  Special Creations By Nelly, used real hydrangeas from their yard. However, if you don't have any blooms growing in your garden, you can opt for a store-bought bouquet. Dollar Tree also has a wide range of artificial flowers for spring, including 6-Stem Rose Bouquets.

Creating your elegant floral Dollar Tree DIY centerpieces is easy once you've decided on the blooms you'll use. With your wine glass upright, fill it with the garden pearl beads, then drape your flower bunch around and inside the glass. Leave enough room at the top to place your second stemless glass on top, then fill the top glass with white sand. Top it with your candle, either LED or real, then ignite to enjoy your new table accent. If lighting a real candle, be sure you read your sand package carefully to ensure it's not made of flammable material, as some reviewers note they've purchased bags of sand that smell like acetone. A bag of Alternative Imagination Sand will work, as this is suited for use with incense and other fire sources.

Although the elegant structure of the wine glass can stand on its own, don't stop there if you're in full crafting mode! Take this project to new sparkling heights with a few creative additions before adding your flowers or candles. For instance, try covering the surface with several Dollar Tree Foil and Glitter Butterfly Pop-up Stickers, so the centerpiece has a little shimmer when it catches the light. Speaking of light, you can create a diffused effect by spraying all of the glass with a can of Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint to create a dreamy, opaque look. If you want to add a simple twist, try wrapping some tape around the glass before you spray it to create a striped design.
