So when it comes time to set a party table, I love to incorporate the birthday girl or boy’s name into the design. I think it is such a fun way to personalize the spread:)
Sometimes, I do this with fondant letters, or cookies…sometimes with banners or signs. And sometimes with awesome custom made signs or letters.
For this fun glitter and mint shamrock party, I created an easy DIY glitter name centerpiece. Today I have a centerpiece tutorial so I can show you how to make one too.
Glitter Name Centerpiece Tutorial
Materials:
- Paper Mache Letters
-one for each letter of the name - Gold Spray Paint
- Gold Glitter Spray Paint
- Super Glue
- thin piece of wood-long enough to place all the letters on top of
-one for each letter of the name
Step One:
Spray paint all the letters with the gold spray paint. This will be an undercoat for the glitter, so you will want to make sure you fully cover the letters front and back and the gold paint. You may need to do more than one coat.
Step Two:
Once the undercoat dries, spray the letters with a light layer of glitter spray paint. You don’t need a heavy coat because of the gold underneath.
Step Three:
Glue the letters to the wood board with superglue (and also to each other in the sections that touch each other). Allow to dry and bam…your done:)
See…I told you it was easy peasy!! I hope you love your centerpiece! Also, checkout the budget breakdown for this design for more details of this party spread.
