I found some great Valentine’s Day cards at Family Dollar at a $1 WOW price. Now I’m ready to send Valentine’s to my family in Oregon!
Want to decorate your table by making an easy centerpiece? I love the way chocolate roses look, so I decided to make a centerpiece out of them. I used a simple glass vase that I picked up previously at Family Dollar and added some decorative green glass pebbles to it to secure my chocolate rose arrangement. The fun part about this centerpiece is that you can eat it too!
Chocolate Roses Centerpiece
Supplies Needed:
- 10 – 12 Chocolate Roses
- Clear Cylindrical Glass Vase
- Green Glass Pebbles
Step 1 – Add green glass pebbles to your clear cylindrical glass vase
Step 2 – Stick the stems of the chocolate roses into the base then place on a red placemat in the center of your table.
While I was shopping at Family Dollar, I looked for Valentines that my boys could take to their class Valentine’s Day Parties. I was thrilled to find these two popular candy Valentine’s: Fun Dip and Skittles. It’s time to write your Valentine’s shopping list for Family Dollar!
