with a trip to the dollar tree and
a hunt for some rocks,
you too can make some centerpieces
for a graduation party.
centerpieces such as these

make sure it's the RED one you pick
cuz they do have other colors.
i had this foam from walmart but
dollar tree also sells foam blocks.
it doesn't matter, as long as
you can fit a piece snugly in the cover.

when you cover the cylinder,
you'll have about a 3 inch space from the top
where you can do this:

ok so i had this Martha Stewart poker thing
for hole poking i got from michael's ages ago
but you can use a Phillips screwdriver too.
the photo props were also from the dollar tree.
