DIY Coffee Bean centerpieces

I don't know if they have exactly what you're looking for, but try www.saveoncrafts.com.

I definitely recommend going to Hobby Lobby and purchasing during their 50% off sale. They will probably end up being around $3-6/ea

If they don't have enough in stock, they will issue a rain check at the discounted price!

Also, after the wedding, clean them up nicely and they will take them as a return!

Best of luck!

I agree. Hobby Lobby is probably the best and cheapest place you will find them. They go on sale for 50% off about every two weeks. If you go to HobbyLobby.com you can also print off a 40% off coupon. As far as returning them after you use them, if you choose to be that kind of person then remember that they only accept returns with a dated receipt within the last 60 days, so you wouldn't be able to buy them very far in advance if you wanted to return them.

Also try ebay or your local craigslist

Are you using flowers? White calla lilies would look so elegant with the brown coffee beans!

Yes i am using White calla lilies. I saw this on an episode of whose wedding is it anyway and loved the simplicity!

I have used them for years, and have never had problems.

Good Luck!

Hello, hopefully this will help as we have done these for several clients. You should be able to purchase vases from Michael's or Hobby Lobby or Cosco. Purchase some styrofoam cylindars that fit inside the vases and paint them espresso brown. This styrofoam will take up some of the room in the vase causing you to use less beans. Painting it will help it be dark like the beans.

Set the styrofoam down in the bottom of the vase and surround and cover it with beans.
