DIY Christmas Table Decor: SEW YOUR OWN GOODIE BAGS
Little goodie bags make the perfect addition to each place setting for your holiday tablescape. Cut 3″ x 12″ strips from the fabric of your choice. For each bag, use one strip. Fold in a 1/4″ seam twice along the short ends of the strip and sew into place. Fold strip in half with the pattern facing in and sew a 1/4″ seam along the two sides. Flip fabric right side out and you have the perfect little bag for holiday treats (adjust the strips larger or smaller for different bag sizes depending on your needs!) Finish each bag by tying them shut with twine or ribbon and a custom gift tag painted in Chalk Paint® colors to match your fabric. These little goodie bags are also a great way to make your own Christmas Countdown! Make a set of 24 bags, numbered 1-24, and insert little treats for your loved ones to enjoy each morning as they eagerly await Christmas morning!
HOW TO DRY ORANGE SLICES
Dry your own orange slices for your holiday DIY projects! Simply cut oranges in approximately 1cm wide slices, place on a rack in the oven at 120°C (250°F) for 2-3 hours. Check and turn regularly to ensure they don’t stick.

HANGING CENTERPIECES
Save space on your holiday table with a statement -making hanging centerpiece! This idea can be done with very little expense and customized to suit your decor and the event! Both start with a large branch suspended from the ceiling and then decorated with a variety of hanging items. A chic, rustic look is created by hanging dried orange slices, pine cones, cinnamon sticks and fresh herbs using twine.
Here, an ivy garland with a selection of Christmas ornaments creates a traditional look with a touch of sparkle. Other ideas might include a pine garland or twinkle lights – the options are endless! Use leftover decor pieces to keep it budget friendly!
