Christmas Tablescape 2012

I know I am very late in posting this but here we go...

I went for a white snowflake theme this year.

It was rather last minute...


I just placed a garland down the centre of the table,
attached white snowflakes
and added white fircones.

The snow flakes on the napkins are tree decorations.



and for New Years
(as I was extremely short of the money tree at the bottom of the garden,
so couldn't change it completely this year)



so I just change the napkin snowflakes to wishbones...


I boiled them clean and painted them gold.

I just hope those New Years wishes comes true!

DIY Paper Fans

I love these paper fans...


and they are so easy to make.

this is the best tutorial I have found.

you can cut to shape your fans once you have concertina folded your paper,
and I would glue the section together not staple as the finish is nicer.

DIY Tissue Flower Poms

I so wish I had a daughter when I adorable things like this...






Concertina fold (make a firm crease) 8-10 sheets of tissue paper...



fold at the centre, and secure with floristry wire.
cut to shape petals...



gently fan out and lift each layer up...



and your done!

DIY Balloon Banner

This balloon banner is another cute party finishing touch...

I love the tassels on the ends...


string four of each colour balloon together...


tie the four balloons together...



put three groups of each colour balloon together...



thread a strong length of string through the centre of each group of four ballooons...



and that is it!
