DIY-able Touches for Your Holiday Tablescape

Are you the hosting a holiday soirée or two this year? Keep reading for four fabulous DIY-able ideas to upgrade your holiday tablescape and impress your guests.

A Homemade Candle (or four)

In addition to looking nice, your holiday tabletop decor should also smell nice too! And arrangement of homemade candles can make for a beautiful and ambient centerpiece, which you can use well after your holiday celebrations have wrapped up. TIP Scented candles aren’t recommended to be used during meals as they can alter the taste of your food. If your event includes a seated dinner, swap out the scented candles with scentless ones.

Uniquely Folded Napkins

If you’re looking for a subtle way to impress your guests without crowding the dinner table, consider what’s already going to be on it and work with that. For instance, we love this DIY napkin idea, using upcycled earrings. Or, if you boast superior origami skills, why not get creative with your napkins themselves.
