Well I've been married for over six months now! Time to figure out what to do with all of my wedding decorations. I constructed my own centerpieces and bouquets with faux calla lilies from Hobby Lobby, and my table numbers were made from picture frames purchased at ACMoore. I successfully sold the table numbers on Craigslist and am trying to do the same with the centerpieces.

One thing that I have leftover is the faux floral petals that the flower girls used.

I decided to turn these into a piece of art, based on something that I saw in the nail salon while I was getting my nails done the day before my wedding! I laid out the petals into a round floral shape on a wooden frame I had laying around. It was extremely easy and looked great, so I decided to proceed.

The fame was dirty, dingy, and faded so I decided to paint it (no surprise there).

After the frame was dry, I glued down each petal in the same circular pattern using a hot glue gun. I used a spare button as the center of my flower.
 |
| Done! |
I also decided to keep my bouquet as a memento of my special day.

All I did was simply arrange the bouquet in an appropriately sized vase as seen below.

The bridesmaids bouquets are in similar vases placed around my living room. The pops of coral look great as a spring accent!
