Holiday Planning

Nifty Place Settings
& Worksheets




I love the place settings for the holidays featured in Real Simple magazine.
Especially the use of nature and simple supplies.

It doesn't get any easier than wrapping bottles in twine.
And it looks so earthy...





Even crayons!

Make a bouquet of crayons for the kids table
 out of styrofoam and a box of crayons.

Have glass plates?
Unpeel wrappers off a few crayons of similar shades
put into a cupcake mold. (Ten crayons will fit in a mold.)
Bake at 450 F. for 5-7 minutes.
Pour on glass plate, tipping for abstract affect.
Work fast, wax dries quick.
When ready for clean up, pop dishes into freezer,
wax will peel off.




Pretty twigs, orchids, and tissue paper.

All setting are less than $50,
probably a lot less than that if you are uber-economical! ;)
