I am having a special event at church. The theme is 'Spring Cleaning' and I need decoration ideas for table centerpieces and table top place settings. My budget is limited.
PLEASE DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS OR PAPER FLOWERS!!! What a terrible thing to do when we really need to protect our environment! Why not go to Costco and buy packages of 36 microfiber cloths for the entire cleaning project? Tuck a single cloth into each person's water glass so it looks something like a flower? If the microfiber cloths are too much for your budget, go to a 'dollar store' and buy lots of wash cloths or "auto cleaning rags". They will work almost as well. If you'll take a basket along to gather the cloths AFTER cleanup, they can be washed and used over and over again. Mother Earth will thank you for your efforts.
Feather duster for a centerpiece, use buckets for centerpiece. You could always have a contest to see which team of 8 or 10 (depending on table size) can come up with the best centerpiece using something from each person's cleanup project.
Spray bottles with colored water in them - pastels would be pretty.
White washcloths as the knapkin at each place setting -you can get bulk ones at discount stores for a couple dollars a dozen - tie with coordinating colored ribbon to the spray bottles.
Stand up a roll of paper towels in the center of the table, and use the tube for a spray of flowers.
