Painless Oktoberfest Centerpiece Craft

My husband’s work is throwing an Oktoberfest event on base, in a few weeks and of course I had to jump on the opportunity to volunteer my “craftiness” for the event.

Although I don’t have a detailed tutorial for today’s Painless Oktoberfest Centerpiece idea {because honestly – it’s so easy I don’t want to bore you with the fluff} I just wanted to share real quick picture of what we came up with for decor. Psst – it’s the blogger in me that can’t miss an opportunity to inspire at least ONE person today ;-)

So anyways… let me break it down. All the supplies that we used, except the blue ribbon, are from Dollar Tree. This makes it a REALLY inexpensive centerpiece and decor idea, especially for those on a very small and tight budget {which surprisingly happens a lot with military events like this!}

And several of the mugs we are using for the event are from Dollar Tree, there are a couple we actually picked up from various thrift stores and people’s personal stash at home. My favorite part of this idea that the mugs can be re-used later down the road for other events or you can gift them to your guests at the end of the night & they can reuse them over and over again. No sense of throwing them away!

Now for the “crafting” part. The yellow tissue paper is the “beer” while the white flowers are the bubbling “foam.” Then we used blue ribbon to tie the Oktoberfest idea together. It was just a matter of wrapping tissue paper around the flowers and stuffing it into the glass mug. REALLY EASY!

If you are planning to celebrate the awesome Oktoberfest German tradition in the coming day, I hope my quick picture and post inspires you to add some crafty flair to your event!!!

Happy crafting {and celebrating} my friends!!! We also have a great DIY Sweetheart Mugs tutorial made from supplies from Dollar Tree! Hint hint!  #gluedtomycrafts
