Graduation Centerpiece with Dollar Store Supplies

Ok, so my life just went from crazy to crazier…not to be confused with craziest, which I hope I don’t experience anytime soon!!  But my oldest graduates from high school next week and since we homeschool, we are hosting a graduation ceremony for him and then just a couple days later is his graduation party.  We are expecting a pretty big crowd for his party, so I’ve been super busy planning, organizing, delegating, and working to get things ready for this.  The count down is on so I thought I’d start showing you some of the things we will be using next week.

I’m trying to stay on a budget for this party and so I’ve made many trips to the dollar store in the past few weeks.  I’m so thankful there is one just a few minutes from my house and am excited that they have lots of supplies that I need for only a dollar (or less)!

The centerpieces that we will be using on the tables, cost under $25 for 20 centerpieces.

The centerpieces consist of:

-a book wrapped in brown paper – the books are from our personal homeschool library and the brown paper comes in a roll from the dollar store.

-a can filled with decorative goodies – my mom and I have been saving cans and washing them thoroughly… I’m repurposing them for this project.  I filled the cans with sand (to keep them from blowing away) and then with yellow paper Easter grass from the dollar store.  I wrapped the cans with some yarn I had in my yarn basket.  The pendants were made from dollar store poster board and my Cricut machine. I used some skewers (I had in my pantry) to attach the pendants to and painters tape (which I already had on hand), as my adhesive.

-a picture-filled frame – these frames are repurposed from my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary but are available at the dollar store as well.  I got prints made from my son as a baby, all the way up to now and have an assortment of them in the frames.

So, that makes up the centerpieces.  One job done and only $25 spent…not bad, not bad at all!!

Happy Creating!!

    This is the right web site for anybody who wants to find out about this topic.
    You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would
    want to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject that has been written about for
    a long time. Great stuff, just great!

    My son Alex graduates June 2nd of this year, we recently moved while he stayed to graduate with friends. We are using the Club House here where we live and I’m trying to do everything but do it so it does not financially hurt us. I really appreciate cost effective places because every penny saved helps. I already have mason jars and have flowers, but wanted to do the books, and thank you for showing me where I can get the roll of cardboard. Thank you again.
