How to Make the 250th Anniversary Centerpiece
-
Paint the Boxes
Use red white and blue spray paint or acrylic paint to cover the tissue boxes.
- Prepare the Numbers
Cut 250 out of gold glitter craft foam and cut out the same numbers larger in white glitter foam. These will be layers to gift the gold a white border. Glue the gold numbers on top of the white numbers.
-
Decorate the Box
Cut pieces of cardboard or foam board and glue them to the back of the letters. This elevate them from the box to give height and dimension . Glue the numbers on to the boxes with a hot glue gun.Cut out red, white and blue stars out of craft foam and attach them to the boxes with hot glue.

Attach the Flags
Place small American flags behind or beside the numbers. They instantly add a patriotic feel and tie the whole piece together.

Add Lights
Arrange LED string lights around the balloon weights and weave them through the decorations. This gives the centerpiece a warm glow, especially for evening celebrations. I like to use flashing led lights to make them look like fireworks.
