Center Piece For Reception Food Table

This is the Center piece I made For the 9th Annual Juried Art Exhibition from
recycle Stuff. Except for the core board I had to make the 9th with. Or I would have used scrap blue Dow board from House construction, TIP-(Dow board I have used a lot to make Props for plays when I did that. If you peal the plastic wrap off it can be painted on with house paint or Acrylic paint. (not spray paint, it will melt) But I was all out of that.

• Use 1 cup per load, stirring soap before each use (will gel).
• You can add drops of what ever aroma smell you like.
