Katie VS the cupcake wrapper pomander




I saw this one on Pinterest and thought how cute it would be for a bridal shower centerpiece.
Cost:  about $8 for 1
Difficulty Level: Easy as Pie
What You'll Need: Cupcake Wrappers, straight pins with ball end, styrofoam balls (75 wrappers covers 1 six inch styrofoam ball).  There is a glue gun just in case, but I ended up not needing it.

step one: stick a pin through the middle of one cupcake wrapper


step two: fold wrapper in half and push pin firmly into the ball


keep that up over and over and over (at least 75 times) placing the pins about 1/2" apart and mixing up the direction of your wrappers to overlap them.

I left a little portion empty on the bottom of some of my pomander so they can stand on candle holders, but I covered some completely.


These are so easy and cute. You can find cupcake wrappers in any color and they are cheaper than flowers. Stay tuned for some more DIY ideas from this bridal shower!
