To make the huge St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece, TikToker @styleitwithtrix stacks a tall, narrow container, like a reusable cup or tumbler, into a large, cylindrical glass vase. A similar vase can be found at Dollar Tree for $1.25. She then fills the glass vase about 1/3 full with M&M’s chocolate candies. To match the colors of the holiday, @styleitwithtrix opts for a sharing-size bag of mint-flavored M&M’s, which come in several festive shades of green and likely cost under $5.00 at Dollar Tree. Next, she adds a layer of shiny gold plastic coins to the vase, available in a 30-count for $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Finally, she adds another layer of M&M’s and pops a few white faux flowers and glittery shamrock picks into the tumbler in the center of the vase, costing roughly $1.25 each at Dollar Tree. The entire project likely cost under $10!
The centerpiece design would look gorgeous in any space, but there are plenty of ways to change up the original crafting components to make this hack your own. For a party-friendly edible arrangement, consider using gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins in place of plastic coins and filling the center tumbler with green peppermint sticks or candy canes instead of flowers. Some other fun vase filler options could include spearmint candies, Hershey’s Kisses, artificial moss, glass beads, buttons, or ribbons. For the best results, stick to items in a green, gold, and white color scheme.
