How to Make a Table Centerpiece for Prom

Prom is all about the mood of the evening, and of course the decor is the most prominent feature of the event. No matter what theme you choose to go with, there is one table centerpiece that never goes out of style. It adds a romantic, sparkly glow to each table, helping to set the mood. All you need are a few simple pieces to create these glowing centerpieces.

Things You'll Need

• Glass vases or bowls
• Plastic crystals
• LED lights (mini cubes, battery operated)

Instructions

Construct Your Centerpiece

1. Pour the plastic crystals into the vase about a third of the way up. The fake crystals give off an elegant feel, but don't cost more than a few dollars for several packets.

2. Place one mini LED light cube on top of the crystals. Make sure the cube is turned on and that you only fill these centerpieces shortly before the event begins. The lights will hold out for several hours, but you do not want to risk them burning out before the event begins.

3. Place more crystals in the vase until it is almost full.

4. Put another LED light cube into the vase.

5. Fill the rest of the vase with crystals. You will see that the centerpieces glow on each table, and you can choose the light cubes in a variety of colors.

Tips & Warnings

• There are some light cubes that change color every few seconds if you prefer those.
