Last Friday night was the year end band banquet for our high school. As President of the Music Boosters, I was very involved in planning of the banquet. We had a mother who was very crafty who always made the center pieces each year, her last daughter graduated last year. I kept my mouth shut about doing something but they couldn't find anyone to do the center pieces so I finally volunteered. Our band travels to Florida each February and the last 3 out of 4 years we have done parades at Disney World so I knew I wanted to do something with a Disney theme. So I cut out characters which included Mickey, Minnie, Donlad Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Nemo, Jack Jack, Winne the Pooh and Tigger. (only showing Mickey in this picture, once I download all of my pictures I will post all of the characters here). I adhered a wooden skewer to the back of the character and covered it with a second base layer. Did the same with the "MUSIC TO MY EARS" saying and the music note (this was attached to floral wire). I took a 4" clay pot and filled it with crumpled paper and nestled a 3" Styrofoam ball in it. I stuck the skewers/wire into the ball. Covered with the shredded paper you use to put in gift baskets. The characters were cut to a maximum of 11" (some were smaller). These center pieces were a HUGE hit at the banquet. I am very pleased with the way they turned out.
