ABOVE RIGHT: Kroll made standing table centerpieces by gluing three varying-
height candlesticks to a mirror base. She then attached painted, glittered and bead-
ed Styrofoam balls to the tops of each candlestick.

BELOW LEFT: Kroll covered the kids' tables with different colors of sheer fabric
down the length of each table. Lining the top were more decorated Styrofoam balls
glued to low glass candle bases. "A friend gave me 100 of the glass candle bases,
and when I was done, I scraped off the glue and gave them to another friend for her
daughter's bat mitzvah," says Kroll. She and husband, Todd, also passed the tall cen-
terpieces along to a friend, Melissa Litvin, who used them for her son's bar mitzvah
(shown on page C57). "I think it's great to pass this stuff along for someone else to
use for their mitzvah. Why not get more use out of all of this stuff and help some-
one else out? Doing a mitzvah for a mitzvah!"

BELOW RIGHT: Kroll glued two-inch-thick Styrofoam laser-cut letters to a 4.5' x 4.5'
board, which she kept in her garage. Over the course of a week, she layered glue
and glittered the board and letters, then affixed silver paper circles on the letters to
look like stage lights. Around the edge of the sign, she pinned a string of pink LED
lights, which flashed while guests danced.

ABOVE LEE Lilley Kroll's Jan. 11, 2014, bat mitzvah party was held at the Royal Oak
Farmer's Market. Her mom, Jennifer Kroll, glued circles of different textured craft
papers in her daughter's theme colors of hot pink, purple and lime green on clear
nylon strings. Between the circles, she strung shiny foam balls, crystals and mini mir-
rors. Twelve strings were then tied onto plastic pipe from Home Depot, which Kroll
wrapped in colorful fabric — each pipe became a hanging centerpiece.
