1. I have done this and ti makes an amazing party decoration. I am not a matchy-matchy girl but there is something so cool about having flowers that fit into the decor. Look at the rainbow!

    Imgaine a rainbow party with rainbow cake and flowers!

  2. The flowers on the top are a great DIY project.

    You take white carnations, cut about a half inch off the bottom and put them in water with different strengths of food color. It takes about a day but it looks great.

    I did this for a mad hatter party with blue.

    Memorial Day is right around the corner, then there is the 4th of July sneaking up right after that and for those special days, nothing says patriotic pride like good old red, white and blue.

    I bought a pair of children’s cowboy boots at Goodwill for $5.99. Using acrylic paints, I painted it red, white and blue.  I only painted one boot just in case I get inspired to do another centerpiece with different colors or just in case I decided to use the boot and it’s original color.  

    For this centerpiece, after the paint was dry, I simply placed a plastic tumbler in the boot before I placed the flower arrangement inside to keep the flowers watered and fresh. For the next holiday I might fill it up with some fun patriotic or western themed items for the kids.  Now I just need a saddle and a horse and I’ll be good to go!

    Hope your day is the best!

  8. I can’t tell you how long ago I made these - but they are always fun at a party. HOWEVER, I prefer to float them in non edible vases- unless you use edible flowers. simko: Floral Ice Cubes by Martha Stewart Living… To suspend flowers in the cubes, work in layers: Fill an ice tray (one that makes large cubes so the ice will last longer) a quarter of the way with water, add flowers facing down, and freeze. Add more water to fill halfway, and freeze. Fill to the top, and freeze again.  For ice that’s especially clear, use distilled water that has been boiled and then cooled. This limits impurities and air bubbles, which make ice cloudy.  Use only edible flowers, such as orchids, nasturtiums, pansies, and snapdragons, that have been grown to be eaten (to ensure they haven’t been treated with chemicals).
