Home Decor on a Budget: Inexpensive Center Piece
I need home decor projects that are easy and inexpensive.
Here is a craft idea that is budget friendly.
I made this using a vase I had purchased on half-price day at Goodwill for $.50, a flower I snagged up at Michael’s for $2.49 using a half off coupon and two bags of split peas that were $0.89 each. This easy craft cost less than $5.00 to create.
Dump the split peas into the vase filling it up to the level most visually appealing to you.
Cut your artificial flower stem down to a size that is best suited for the vase.
Place the flower in the vase.
And you’re done! It makes the perfect center piece.
The flower and the beans/peas can be changed out according to season and you have a home decor item that will last a long time.

Haha! That’s great! I get free beans and peas often with coupons…I’ll have to remember this!
Christy- I have found so many projects online using beans. Inexpensive and creative!
Have fun with your free beans.
Love the flower! It looks so real. Easy peas-y huh? Peas. Get it? Lol. I crack me up.
Kim, you’re crazy and punny! 🙂
Yes, easy peas-y!
Ha! So easy and frugal, and doesn’t make the non-crafty hyperventilate! Following you now on twitter as @shelleymolitor
Love this! A fun twist on this would be to use orange beans and green peas for a Halloween/fall centerpiece 🙂
