Pride: Front & Center

A good Friday evening! I didn't realize that I was up at 

AUTHENTIQUE PAPER

today, so I wanted to share this fun patriotic centerpiece that I made with

the brand new Pride Collection

To begin I used two different sizes of lace round dies by Lifestyle Crafts (you could also use paper punches or SVG files to achieve a similar look) and cut the shapes from desired patterned paper. 

 Cut (2) shapes for each stick.  To the back piece attach a paper straw with a fast-drying liquid glue.  Next, add thick foam dots (same height or taller than the straw's width) and attach the top round piece.  Layer on various stickers and glittery chipboard stars. 

 Fill the pail with floral foam and arrange the sticks as desired; top with red paper shred or Spanish Moss. When the 4th of July cook-out arrives, I'll add it to the buffet table and celebrate in style!
