Thrifty Hurricane Tutorial

  • Tweet
Ah, my simple dining room table centerpiece.
st+patricks+day+decor
Brad didn’t believe that I made them myself at first, so I had to show him the “before” pics off of my camera. I took this as a compliment. I like it so much I think I might do this as the centerpiece on half of our reception tables.


SUPPLIES

3 vases– I already had these, but you can easily get some from Dollar Tree or a thrift shop.
3 candlesticks– I got mine from Goodwill for $.99 each.
E6000 glue
ToothpicksDIRECTIONS
First, I washed and dried the vases and candlesticks.


Then, I applied the E6000 glue onto the rim of the candlesticks with a toothpick.
Next, I put the vases on top of the candlesticks and applied some pressure. I let them set for a little bit, and then I got anxious and put candles in them to see what they would look like. This may have helped because then the candles were applying pressure. Either way, it didn’t seem to hurt.

EDIT: I ended up making 6 sets of 3 hurricanes to use as centerpieces on half of the tables at our wedding reception. I filled them with water, dropped in some rose petals, and put a floating candle on top. Floral arrangements of hydrangeas, spray roses, and hypercum berries, made by our florist, were placed on the other tables.

Thrifty Hurricanes! Only $2 each! Perfect for everyday decor or special occasions!Check out my other popular posts!

    I’m about to make them now.. I’m so excited.. I found most of the items at the dollar tree.. I spent $ 6 dollars on the vases and candle holders. I spent 3 on the candles. I found GREEN gem rocks ( There wasn’t peas at the dollar tree) I spent about 3 bucks on those. Doubt I will use them. I bought 3 bags of peas at walmart for 98 a piece. As well as some ribbon which I doubt I will use.. And the glue which was 2.97 ~ I don’t have a crafty bone in my body.. I guess until this past JAN when I was introduced to Pinterest. <3.. St.Patty's Day is one of my fav holidays since Im Irish <3.. I cannot wait to make these and Im super stoked.. Thanks so much for sharing.. PS.. I LOVE YOUR BLOG.

    What a pretty and very thrifty idea! thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. I like the flowers more than peas, I think this really is good centerpiece during dinner with the family, aside from the fact that it is easy to make with few steps.

    I love your hurricane with green peas! Those dried peas don’t always cook up to be soft enough for soup, so this I can definitely use! Would it be ok if I feature your blog on my new blogsite http://www.somersethouse.me? Joan

    Terrific ideas! I made hurricane lamps for my sister for Christmas one year and they were a big hit. I love yours with the rose petals. Glad I found your post on the #HomeMattersParty

    Thank you for this helpful idea! I’m always at the Goodwill, so I’ll be on the lookout for some vases and candlestick holders the next time I stop in. The split green peas look awesome; I never would’ve thought of such a creative use.

    I love this idea. I actually have boxes of stuff to drop off at Goodwill this week but while I purge my home of 20 years of clutter I was looking for vase filler ideas to make things look pretty in my new pared-down home for spring and came upon your blog.. now I may be on the lookout for some old candlesticks to make my filled vases more interesting . I’ve played around with marbles and shells and sand for summer, Christmas ornaments and pinecones in winter, corks and other similar items … but hadn’t thought about using veggies and I love that idea – but even more so I loved the hurricanes you made with the candlesticks and vases. The rose petals with the floating candles are gorgeous. Something to try for a romantic dinner.
    I look forward to reading more ideas in your blog.
