We just love incorporating a themed centerpiece for our party tables and this DIY Jungle Centerpiece was the perfect addition to our Disney ZooTopia kids table! With just a few of Oriental Trading's cute products, we were able to create a jungle inspired centerpiece that made this table go wild!

Take your DIY Alphabet banner and choose the letters you need to spell your centerpiece word. We chose the word ZooTopia for our Disney ZooTopia inspired party. We will start with the letter Z for this DIY. Cut away the rectangular borders from the bottom of the letter.

Fill each mini orange pail about 3/4 full with green chocolate covered candies. They will serve as a sturdy base filler to hold your letters up!
