Colorful and thrifty tables for a large group
The post today for Thursday's Tablescape is all about ingenuity, thrift, quantity and color.
We had a breakfast at church last Saturday and when I walked into the cultural hall I was met by 20 round tables dressed in bright vibrant colors.
The woman responsible for the decorating had used runners she had previously made for a family event which were chartreuse green, pink, yellow and hot pink. Some were striped and some were plain fabrics.
She layered these on top of similar colored plastic round tablecloths that are usually not that attractive. The centerpieces were trees cut from foam core then all were painted bright pink.
The big plastic light bulbs were purchased at the dollar store then painted to match the theme colors, bright pink, green and chartreuse, three per table. They are hung on a jewelry rack that was also purchased at the dollar store. She put the base of the holder into a piece of wood which was wrapped in paper of the theme colors.
She scattered and hung little gold stars.
The walls were also treated to some of the wrapping paper and stripe fabric in big rectangles. All in all, it was a fresh and happy look for our Christmas breakfast event. To read and see more tablescapes
