What you'll make
Each centrepiece is a cluster of three 500 mL mason jars, each with a lace band, a jute twine bow and a spray of dried baby's breath. The jars come from a 12-pack and the trim costs cents per jar, so the dried flowers are most of the bill. Because nothing needs water, you can finish every table weeks ahead and store them in a box.
