Create an Easy Centerpiece

Here's a fun little tutorial for all of you.  In all my organizing and moving things around I found a few things that I thought put together would make a nice centerpiece.  So here's all you need:
Artificial flowers.  If found mine in a closet.
A vase.  Mine was on our back patio holding ping pong balls. :)
A little foam.  I use this stuff at Christmas every year so this was a little extra I found in a bag out back.
Now that you have all of your items we are going to put them together.  Seriously this is so simple, I think it took me 5 minutes.
Step 1:  Put the foam in the bottom of the vase.
Step 2: Arrange the flowers the way that you want them to look.  The foam is pretty messy if you are going to be taking the flowers in and out so you might want to do this on the counter, or somewhere that is easy to clean up.

And voila!  Now you have a pretty centerpiece for your table!

Before 
(definitely needed some help, I've just been uninspired)
 After
I ended up adding a little greenery from another arrangement that I have.

Have fun making your own!
