Materials Required:
- A roll of kraft paper
- White acrylic paint
- Paintbrushes (variety of sizes)
- Zigzag scissors
- Velvet lace (for the napkins)
- Napkins
- Candles in a matching colour palette
- Decorative seasonal elements
Step 1: Prep the Table
Start by rolling out the kraft paper across your table, ensuring it fully covers the surface. This will be your blank canvas.
Pro Tip: You can secure it with tape underneath to keep it flat and wrinkle-free.
Step 2: Design and Paint
Lightly sketch where your plates, coasters and names will go. Then, use a pencil to mark the areas with all of the details you’d like. This will create a balanced layout on your table.
Now, using your white acrylic paint, you can freehand draw scalloped plates, your guests’ names, coasters and any extra beautiful detail you’d like to see directly onto the kraft paper. Don’t be shy with adding fun shapes, too. For example, borders, stars and much more — just let your creativity shine for this step!
Step 3: Craft Napkin Bows
To complete this DIY, fold your paper napkins in three equal parts and then tie them with velvet lace to create elegant bows. Then, cut the edges with zigzag scissors and place them at each seating spot on top of your plates for a beautiful and elegant look.
Congratulations! You’ve just transformed an ordinary dining table into a stunning work of art, personalized to each guest and your home decor.
This DIY tablescape isn’t just decor — it’s definitely a conversation starter and creates an unforgettable experience for your friends and family.
Happy crafting, friends!
