We can do SIMPLE or FANCY.

Here's some SIMPLE LOOKS.
These are ENHANCED TABLE NAMES that were
used instead of a big centerpiece.
They are about 10" to 12"...one sided...the
reverse side has balloons.....EASY ON THE BUDGET!

I can make & send themed items for you to arrange yourself.
Add your party logo into the centerpiece like this star for
T.J. & Ashleigh's Taste of Chicago. A logo star on a curled
foam wire was spiraling out on each side. Email me your logo and
I'll make them to enhance your centerpieces...or I can make the
complete centerpiece or just parts that you need. Don't have a logo? I
can design one for you to use all over your party.
I don't have a minimum order.
Just order what you need and the way you need it.
I can make accents like this flower that was for a Sign In Board for you to add to your own board.
I love to make flowers and can make them in any size.
I can make many different themed items that are layered and dimensional just like this flower.
I can make funky musical notes like these for you to add
to your centerpieces or signs. I can leave them plain
white or add glitter or even double mount them on a
second color. They even make great Table Numbers and
can be made to free stand if needed. (Prices start at $2)
I can make palm trees that fold flat for easy shipping. The pieces
inter-connect and assemble quickly. You can accent with
fish net, shells, beach towels or just put iridescent shred around the
base for that watery feel. (I can send the shred too if needed.)
Recycle those dance costumes into cute centerpieces!
I can help.
Do you want the foamcore figure or just the pattern?

Here's some helpful tips I've learned along the way:
1. Always use a very sharp blade and change it often when cutting foamcore.
2. Cut the foamcore against a soft backing like cardboard or carpeting...not
a hard surface.
3. Use a cork backed ruler to cut against for straight lines and no slipping.
4. Use oil based paint on foamcore and it won't buckle.
5. Leave a white or black border around items when you can...it
makes them "pop". (refer to #8 as well)
6. Lightly score and bend foamcore and you can do amazing things.
7. Sometimes lightly scoring into the foamcore and then making a final
cut- thru is easier than trying to do it all at once.... especially for circles.
8. Remember the importance of "3". Things in groupings of 3 are more artistic.
Also, use at least 3 colors for everything. Use just 2 colors and things will look too plain. Black, white, silver or gold can count as that third color and still retain
the color palette you have chosen.
