Holiday Table Decor

Hi everyone!! It is Jen from Jen's Ink Spot!  I wanted to share an easy Christmas table decoration idea using the fabulous twine from The Twinery!  I hope you don't mind, but I do have quite a few pictures to share!

Here's what the complete place setting looks like.

Years ago I created some candles for Christmas decorations using upside down glass goblets.  I still put them out from year to year.  This year I decided I wanted to update the look because I love the idea so much!

First, I headed off to my local Goodwill store.  I scored big time!! I got each of these glasses for 49 cents each!

To create this look, I first wrapped The Twinery's Buttercream twine around the stems and used a little dab of hot glue to secure it.  Then, I die cut 2 holly leaves and berries 

from felt and embellished them.

This is the Buttercream twine I used.  

Isn't it beautiful?

This gives you a side view.  Isn't the twine wrapped around the stems the perfect accent!  I love how it looks and 
adds the perfect touch!

Here is the place card.  I created this the exact same way I did the goblet stems and placed the small holly & berry die cuts on top of the Twinery twine.  Simple, yet sophisticated!

I also created a simple napkin ring.  I cut a strip of ivory cardstock and wrapped it around the napkin.  Then, I wrapped the Buttercream twine around the circle ring and added the holly leaves once again on top.  To secure the twine around the napkin ring, I first added a small strip of adhesive to the middle of the cardstock and then wrapped the twine around it.

Here's one more look at the grouping.  I think that these would look great on a table set for Christmas!  And really they are simple to make!  The great thing is that there are so many colors of twine that you could use for your candle decorations and you could use this idea for many other occasions as well! 

These upside down goblet candles could be used on a fireplace mantel or a bookshelf, they don't have to be only for a table decoration!  And, they would make super cute gifts too!

I hope you enjoyed this simple idea!
