Beautiful centerpieces really make a table. Use seasonal flowers like violas in this tiered display using galvanized buckets and trays -- they are inexpensive, readily available, and make a big impact.

This craft was adapted from the April 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living. Galvanized buckets and trays of any size may be used to make this tiered display fit in any space; just be sure to maintain their general size ratio.

Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
Seasonal flowers, such as violas

6 1/4-inch and 5-inch galvanized buckets
16-inch, 12-inch, and 8-inch galvanized trays
