You can easily make a beautiful composition for decorating a table yourself. It only takes an evening to prepare everything that is needed for this. Such decoration will give a unique atmosphere that will remain in the memory of all the participants of the dinner for a long time.
It is necessary
- - colored cardboard
- - sponge
- - paints
- - scissors
- - wire
- - gold or silver felt-tip pen
- - raffia lace
- - decorative clothespins
- - glue

Instructions
Step 1
For the production of leaves, we will prepare cardboard. Dip a sponge in acrylic paint and press it against a sheet of cardboard. A drawing made with paint a tone lighter than cardboard looks ideal. But you can choose two completely different - contrasting shades. When the cardboard is dry, cut out the leaves from it. We pass a wire through them. The result is a garland for decorating a bottle of champagne.
Step 2
Also, the leaves will be useful to us for decorating the tablecloth. We cut them out, trace them along the contour with a silver or gold marker and make small slots with a clerical knife through which we stretch the raffia. These leaves may be of a different shape. We attach the resulting garland to the tablecloth.
Step 3
Now we need to make name cards for the guests. Let's consider two options.
First: cut out small squares from unpainted cardboard, fold in half, glue colored tape on the fold line. We write the name and glue a small green leaf.
Second: we cut out the leaves from the painted cardboard and trace along the contour with a gold or silver marker. We write the name of the guest and glue a clothespin to the leaves.
Step 4
You can also decorate wooden napkin rings in the same way. Let's paint them the same color as the cardboard. Leave it to dry completely. Apply the paint of the two remaining colors with a sponge and wait for drying again. Now you can varnish the rings.
