DIY Graduation Centerpiece Ideas
DIY Graduation Centerpiece Ideas

To make your graduation centerpieces special and personal, incorporate your school colors or class colors into your centerpiece.

Here is what you will need: Glass vase, decorative gems, pillar candles, glitter, sticky wax, candle holder, black tape, light bases, party ribbon, black string, card stock, glue, party sticks and message cards.

  1. Start with our metal Japanese inspired candle holder. Wrap the base with black gaffer tape.
  2. Take your black string and make a tassel. (Attach your tassel with tape to your wrapped candle holder)
  3. Next, take 4 of our LUMANESS unscented pillar candles in the colors and sizes you want.
    *(We always recommend placing pillars in glass vases to ensure that your centerpieces are safe if you are using real flame candles!)
  4. Take flat cloth and cut out into number shapes of your year.
  5. Take your cut out cloth numbers and coat one side with glitter.
  6. Take your glitter numbers and attach them to your pillar candles.
    (If you are placing your pillars in glass vases, then attach numbers to the glass vase.)
    Hint: Use sticky wax to hold the numbers to your candles or vases.
  7. Place your light base on the table.
  8. Take your glass vase and fill it up with our decorative acrylic gems. (Layer the colors in the vase as shown)
  9. Then place the glass vase on your LED Light Base.
  10. Place some pebbles around your centerpiece on the table. (to add extra dimension)
  11. Take your card stock and cut it into start shapes. Coat your stars with glue and then glitter. Do both sides!
  12. Place your stars on party sticks and push them into your vase.
  13. Make a mini graduation cap with your card stock and coat with black gaffers tape. Make a small tassel and connect.
  14. Attach your cap to a party stick and place in vase.
  15. Finally, make a card with your own personalized message or table number. Place it on a party stick and push into your vase.

Throw your hats in the air and celebrate all of your hard work. You made it!
