Focal Points for Halloween Candle Centerpiece

Hi this is Ginny with Simply Beautiful crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to be making a varity of versitl halloween center pieces. Once you have your floral circle or you floral block secure to the base of the centerpiece you need to figure out what would be the focal point of the centerpiece and set that. I'm looking at my little scarecrow here and I'm trying to decide if I want him to be the center of this and the focus of my centerpiece or if I want my votive candles to be. so I'm going to play around with it a little bit until it appeals to me. I'm going to try putting my scarecrow right in the middle and putting my tallest votive on one side, my medium vaulted on the other and the shortest in the middle. I'm then going to look at that and decide whether that is really appealing to me. I also have to think about wear this centerpiece is going to be sitting. Would it be on the table that people would be looking at from all sides. If that is the case I don't want to have the back side be there and then have someone in the back of the table not enjoy it. Or would it be sitting some place where would be view one, two, three angles rather then four. Once you have decided what the focal point would be then the rest of your centerpiece is going to be filled in to point to and establish that as you focal point. So if you have your focal point on a pick it is a simple matter to put it in and ensure it then how do you secure the rest of it. But this I think I like this idea of having my centerpiece kind of evenly distributed so no matter where a person would be sitting on the table they would be able to enjoy this. So I'm going to put my votive around here and then i'[m going to take a pick, I'm just going to poke around all the way around all three of my votive . I'm going to cut that out and I'm going to up them down in the floral block and it is secure it. I'm not going to go anywhere cause is a votive and it would be holding vault of candles. So I don't want to tip even if the candles aren't lite. Once you have establish your focal point, you focal piece and the arrangement of them and then you are ready to fill it in around it.
