Easy Table Setting How-To For Your Next Party!

Laura shares this quick and easy way to make your table POP in this step-by-step tutorial!  


Make one setting for the Queen (of King) of the day or make 6 or 8 for a special dinner.  This project idea can be modified to fit absolutely any occasion!


Set includes: card, placemat, napkin ring and place card

Laura used Teresa Collins' Spring Fling products, but of course you can use your favorite patterned paper collection and matching Bazzill cardstock.

Napkin holder w/ die-cut detail
Using Scor-Tape makes adhering the napkin holder a breeze.  You can also use the same idea to personalize things like water bottles or glass candle holders. Home decorating doesn't have to be expensive or permanent for that matter!

personalized place cards 
Place cards make dinner time fun and they let your guests know they were thought about long before they arrived. What a nice way to warm up the atmosphere!

For Laura's complete 'how-to', click HERE.  Laura even included one of her favorite brunch recipes!  

We love hearing from you - let us know what you think about this project idea and how you think you could use it!
