A big thank-you to Marie-Pierre for these very original decorations she's shown us.

Snowmen place card
[ christmas table decoration]Created from two polystyrene balls of different sizes for the body and head. The balls are held together with a wooden toothpick.
Their hats are made from ribbon used for Christmas decorations,(the kind with a wire around the edges so they keep their shape). The hats are fixed with a pin at the back of the head. Fold the ribbon over the top of the head and add a cotton pompom. The ensemble is then fixed with a pin.

The eyes, the nose, the arms and the buttons are seed beads threaded on pins.
The scarf is made from a piece of pipe cleaner.
The song sheets are made of white calling cards.
The base is a square of kapaline board.
Push three pins up through the kapaline and then place the snowman on top to hold him tight.
Use red and white ribbon to vary the colors against a white tablecloth.
Rose napkin rings


[ christmas table decoration] Cut a toilet tissue roll to the same width as the ribbon used for the snowmen. Cut all the way round. Fix the ribbon, tucking it in at each end.
Make two roses and fix them to the napkin ring.This creation isn't difficult, it just takes a lot of patience...

Place card initials

[ festive table decoration] Draw or print the initials on a white calling card.
Cut out carefully, then use a craft knife to remove the white areas. (Take care of fingers.)
Paint the interlace the desired color, then paint the initial in gold felt-tip pen or paint.
Make a bow in the satin ribbon (of matching color with the initials). Tie it with gold-colored string. (Leave enough string to be able to attach the ribbon to the napkin.)
Stick the initials to a surface of the ribbon.
