We also were entertained with students from the school, some performed and others had works of art displayed for us to view
.
Part of the fundraiser portion was the dessert. A hostess prepurchased a table for 8 and then sold the seats. The hostess was to create a centerpiece and a dessert. The table's display was voted on. My friend Kara had a table and asked for a little help brainstorming how to put her table idea together. She wanted to go with a paint theme as she and her husband own an exterior/interior paint business.
She had an idea of a paint can tipping and I had the same thought prior to her sharing her idea on using a paint can tipped over overflowing with fruits into a paint tray. How funny we were thinking the same thing! This totally helped us to work together since we had the same visual idea!
Kara paint splattered a drop cloth for our table cover. She used Fiesta Ware for our dishes -- the bright colors worked great for the paint theme! She also screwed a paint can to some boards elevate it up in the air to obtain that pouring out affect.
She then filled the paint can and paint tray with fruits. There were a couple other paint cans on the table filled with fruits as well so those sitting on the back of the display could still munch -- it was an edible centerpiece after all!
We used tomato paste cans with the labels removed, filled with weights and tissue paper for "paint". We stuck a paint brush in teh center and put the place cards into the paint brush. The place cards were made with paint chips.
The linen's were tied with a knot and a paint brush placed inside the knot. These were placed at the top of each place setting. We set the silverware on a paint chip as well since the napkin was elsewhere.
Kara made some YUMMY chocolate covered cheesecake bites and an ice cream cake. The plates were drizzled with caramel. We had a fun evening out!
