Dollar Tree Gift Bag Place Setting

DIY's· Uncategorized

A table setting for under $5. For this table setting project you will need:
*gift bags of your choice
*Plastic clear plates or a glass plates.
*bowls (you choose your own color) I choose black
*paper napkins or cloth
*a bow or jute strong
* plastic champagne glasses of 4 for $1 or glass
* charger if you go with option 2. They are $1 each at Dollar Tree as well.
* name are tags optional (mine came off a gift bag)
*pinecones (mine were free. I have a pine tree)
*candy or treats are optional

First, I lay out everything in front of me.

Next, cut the gift bag to the size of your place setting.
Then place it down on your table. I chose glass plates. Only because I wanted to see the beautiful print the bag underneath.
Next, I folded the napkin in a triangle shape. Tuck the silverware inside and tie the bow on.
Then, I placed the black bowl from the dollar tree on top of the glass plate. I wanted to see the surrounding wreath pop through underneath. I already had the silverware and the buffalo check bows.
The bows were a clearance item from last year at Big Lots.
Next, I frosted the pinecones with white chalk paint. To give it a flocked look. You can do this by simply painting the pinecone unevenly with an old paint brush.
Now, you have a very simple, easy, budget friendly look. This  gives an elegant look to any table setting.
Another option you can do is a party favor on a budget. You can make baked goods or treats. Place them inside the glass tied with jute and put a pinecone on top. It almost looks like a Christmas tree. You can also attach a bow and jute on top of cone to make as an ornament. Just to give it a little something extra.

This option has a pop of red. However, it still works well with everything else. Another great way of taking an “Ordinary” gift bag and making it into something “Extraordinary “ to impress your guest!

    I love this craft the most because I love anything with buffalo plaid. This is the easiest place setting you can make. So stylish with vibrant colors. You truly are a wonderful person and very talented too!
