Rubber Ducky, you're the one...you make our baby shower so much fun! If this charming yellow centerpiece doesn't make you want to sing the Rubber Ducky song, I don't know what will!

Step
1

Begin by painting nine Foam Balls, nine DIY Small Foam Balls and one DIY Medium Foam Ball two shades of blue. We used the Parrot Blue and Bright Blue colors from the Apple Barrel® Assorted Colors Acrylic Paint Set. Once the paint has dried, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge® Gloss Acrylic Sealer to the foam balls to give them a shiny look.

Use an Exacto Knife to carefully cut the DIY Medium Foam Ball in half. Use a bit of hot glue to adhere one half of the ball to the top of one of the candle holders from a White Candle Holder Set.
