This Vellum Flower Spring Centerpiece project was originally shared on the Core’Dinations blog. For this project, I was challenged to use vellum. I’ll admit, it was quite a challenge for me. To me, vellum seems to be out of date. I struggled with how I was going to use it. BUT, in the end, this is one of my very most favorite projects! Once I figured out what I was going to do with that vellum, I was so excited. And once I got this project finished, it turned out better than I had imagined! Anyway, today I’m going to show you how I put this together. It really is simple.

You’ll need the following supplies:
- Variety of colorful vellum
- Paper Straws
- Large Brads or Buttons
- Tin Bucket
- Floral Foam
- Green shredded paper
- Cricut Explore Air Machine
Cut out all your vellum flowers.
Layer two of the flowers together, like shown.
Put a brad through the center.
Make sure to push the back of the brads, down tight.
Using one side on the back of the brad, put it into the paper straw.
Do that with each flower.
Put floral foam in the bottom of your bucket.
Push the straws down into the floral foam.
Make sure your flowers are arranged how you’d like them. I trimmed the bottom of the paper straws to make them different heights.
Add your green shredded paper (Easter grass).
Now you have a beautiful spring centerpiece that you can display in your home!
And now I’m thinking that vellum isn’t as out of date as I was thinking it was. 😉

What a gorgeous centerpiece! I love the look of the vellum petals. It somehow makes the whole piece look more elegant. Thank you so much for linking this up at This Is How We Roll Thursday.

Is there a link to the flowers you used?
Hi Michelle, I used the daisy like flower on the George & Basic Shapes cartridge. You can find it in Design Space. Search cartridges for George, click the cartridge, and scroll to the flowers. It has this number by it. #M3679D Let me know if you have more questions. 🙂
To make back side look good I can double and glue together right?
If you use Vellum, the glue would show through it. You could use a second flower and attach it to the paper straw on the back side.
