I used the closest thing I could find. This impacted the color combinations as I think lighter colored wheat would make the embroidered floss really pop. Tying the little knots after wrapping the wheat is also a little challenging, but worth the effort! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DIY-table-centerpiece-with-wheat_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Table Centerpiece Color Wrapped Wheat\" class=\"wp-image-13870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DIY-table-centerpiece-with-wheat_400_0.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DIY-table-centerpiece-with-wheat_400_0-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Color wrapped wheat creates a natural centerpiece for your table. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can find the complete directions for Color Wrapped Wheat at <a aria-label=\"inspiredbycharm.com (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/inspiredbycharm.com\/diy-color-wrapped-wheat\/\" target=\"_blank\">inspiredbycharm.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candle and Coffee Bean Centerpiece<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This centerpiece has a bit of a rustic look and feel and\u2026.smell.
