(How to lay the table, decorate your home in spring)

Some suggestions for your table

zoom » There aren't necessary many things to make beautiful your table. You can ask the help of your children too! For example you can realize very simple placecards: take an eggcup and fill it with some little chocolate eggs, then write the name of your guest on a little card, glue it around a small coloured stick and put it among the eggs. You can also use a little coloured glass filled of chocolate eggs.
The centrepiece may be very simple too: a bowl filled with little chocolate eggs; a bunch of flowers of your garden; some silk branches of peach with coloured little birds ...

Another original solution is to close your napkin in a new way. We used silver plated wire,
Ø 1 mm (Gütermann) in pieces 30-40 cm (12-16in) long.
Coil every piece round a cylindrical case with the diameter you want.

In the first example we only put a silk flower with its great leaf on the central coil using patchwork pins (you can also glue it)

In the second example we put some little silk flowers on the central coil and then we closed the ends with some Gütermann pearls or other beads (choose the colours to accompany the flowers).

In the third example we put some glass flowers on the central coil (help yourself with a thin wire) and then made a series of double (single) crochets round the coils with wool. Choose the wool colour according to the flowers.

All the colours we chose remember the spring: yellow, pink, orange... Combine your decorations with the table cloth and dinner set so all the table will be graceful and harmonius.

Let's begin with a simple decoration made with silk flowers.
Choose a basket and some spring flowers: white, yellow, lilac, purple.
Place the flowers in the basket after trimming their stalks. Look at the photo for more details.
Complete your decoration with a yellow ribbon.
Your decoration is ready!
Put it on a piece of furniture or use as a centrepiece for a very coloured table.
