Graduation Centerpiece
See a picture of the centerpieces we used at my daughters high school graduation using flowers and photos.

I bought a couple dozen potted geraniums at about a dollar a piece. The colors we used for my daughter's graduation we pink and green so these geraniums worked great!

I cut pieces of floral wire about 2 feet long and coiled them around a pencil to make the wire look like a spring. I printed out a variety of photos of my daughter on cardstock, making sure they were the same size. Some were portrait style and some were landscape and they covered her life from newborn to high school senior. I cut out the photos and glued two together, sandwiching one end of the wire coil in-between them. We poked two into each flower!

As a finishing touch, I cut gingham fabric into sqares and covered the plastic pot by pulling the fabric up around the pot and tied it in place with ribbon.
