DIY ideas to get creativity going

It’s always good to have coloured craft paper at home. It’s such a versatile material for making decorations like placement cards and garlands. That said, here’s a short step-by-step for a fun party table.

 

  • Make personal place settings with mixed tableware
  • Use odd tea towels as napkins
  • Colour some paper lamp shades and use as balloons
  • Decorate with reusable fake flowers
  • Finish off with your own DIY decorations

Say goodbye to balloons

How about a creative alternative to balloons? Painting some paper lamp shades in different colours is an easy way to set a fun vibe. With dimmable LED bulbs inside, you can finetune the atmosphere. Plus, they’re reusable – perhaps with another splash of paint?

The beauty is real

Artificial flowers have come a long way in how real they look and feel. Having a selection in different colours at home is a smart way to get lots of options for setting the dining table with a fresh, colourful touch – again and again.

Homey table setting creativity

Tea towels make great napkins and can be really decorative with a ribbon and a placement card. When setting the table, try mixing the colours and patterns of your dinnerware to make unique place settings for each guest. It’s a nice way of making everyone feel extra welcome.
