Simple, personal and do it yourself: In addition to coffee and fresh braid brunch for Mother's Day, you cannot miss the cheerfully decorated table. Expensive and complicated? In no way! We show you how to make a sumptuous table with simple materials.
Refined drinks in glass
Water, juice or milk - the drinks are much more elegant served in a glass container than a plastic bottle.
The glass bottles with screw cap or machine are simple and elegant and can be purchased in retail. Who does not have time to shop, goes to rummage in the attic - maybe you find an old object inherited or bought at the flea market.
For example, the crystal carafes for liqueurs are very refined. Filled with colored fruit juices, they make a nice effect on the festive table.
Or you can decorate and give a special touch to the simple glass bottles that are on the market: for example, tied a fabric ribbon around the neck of the bottle, fixing it with a bow or a simple knot.
Orange juice in a beautiful bottle: Create letters with flowers
Instead of the usual bouquet of flowers, amazing with a personalized floral decoration made of letters.
Needed:
? 3D cardboard letters (on sale in DIY stores or do-it-yourself supermarkets)
? Aluminum foil for coating
? A sharp knife or a cutter
? Flower sponge (on sale in DIY stores or do-it-yourself supermarkets)
? Flowers to fill
Tip: buy large flowers (such as peonies or buttercups) and small flowers (for example daisies) or green sprigs to fill the spaces.
How to do it: cut the upper part of the cardboard letters with the cutter. Coat the inside with aluminum foil. Cut the flower sponge and fill the whole letter. Pour a little water on the sponge. Finally cut the flowers of the desired length and place them in the towel. Fill all empty spaces.
Tip: for a longer version, replace the authentic flowers with artificial ones.
Napkin holder covered with alum paper
This decoration is incredibly simple to make and also lends itself to DIY with children.
You simply need:
? A roll of toilet paper
? Aluminum sheet
? Scissors
? Pencil to mark
How to: establish the desired width for the napkin rings and mark the points on the cardboard roll at regular intervals. Cut the rings with scissors. To cut, do not crush the roll, but drill a hole and then cut into a circle. Finally, cover the cardboard rings with strips of aluminum foil. Your DIY metal napkin rings are ready.
As an alternative to the aluminum foil, you can wrap around the napkin rings any remains of fabric or ribbons. In this case, you need quick glue or a hot glue gun. You can decorate by gluing buttons or flowers.
