What you'll make
Each centrepiece is a cluster of three 550 mL glass jars, each with a lace band, a jute twine bow and a stem of faux baby's breath. The jars come from an 8-pack and the lace costs under two dollars per table, so the jars and flowers make up most of the bill. Faux stems need no water, so you can finish every table weeks ahead and reuse the stems at home afterwards.
