DIY: Chipboard & Flower Field Centerpiece
These fun, DIY centerpieces can be customized with your own favorite flowers, shapes, and papers to create a look that’s uniquely yours… and tailored to any occasion!
The example pictured above is for our Easter table this year, but this look would also be cute for a baby shower or “love birds” bridal shower…
You’ll need:
- Small Bedding plants (English Daisies pictured here)
- Shallow rectangular vase
- Die-cut Chipboard Shapes (pictured here: Maya Road’s Song Bird Coasters)
- Decorative Papers (pictured here: Craft Fair by American Crafts)
- Lollipop sticks
- Glue stick or spray craft glue , Hot Glue Gun, Scissors
- Faux flower or other embellishment for the vase (optional)
Directions:
1. Insert the bedding plants into the vase, filling it completely and adding extra soil if necessary.
2. Decorate the vase with a band of coordinating paper and a faux flower or other coordinating scrapbook embellishment, like the Mento Pastel Flowers by Prima, pictured here.
3. Trace & cut the chipboard shapes from decorative paper.
4. Use a glue stick or craft spray glue to attach the paper silhouettes to both sides of the chipboard.
5. Using a hot glue gun or glue dot, attach a lollipop stick to one side of the chipboard piece. Let the glue dry, then insert the lollipop sticks into the “flower field”.

I am interested in making these cute centerpieces for a BabyShower, where could I find the glass vases. I would prefer it if you had any info of a store not on-line to purchase them. Thank You
Hi Melissa –
I purchased the vase used in this centerpiece at Michaels!
Hello, I am the city of Santos – São Paulo State (Brazil) … Pele is the city! I wanted to make this bird in felt, sachets, to their friends. You could send me mold him by e-mail? Thanks, kisses, Wanessa Said
