Setting a Summer Table
Worried your dinner table will look like a four-year-old's birthday party if you use paper plates and plastic utensils? These no-fuss decorating ideas will help keep your table charming-and charmingly disposable. 1. Elevate the simple to the sophisticated, literally, by placing fruit and just-picked blossoms on shoe or small gift boxes that have been covered in white gift wrap. 2. Cut yellow wrapping paper with pinking shears to craft a runner. Use double stick tape to secure the runner to the tablecloth. A plum will weigh down a place setting on a breezy night. And forget place cards: Use a marker to write each guests name directly on the paper tablecloth. 3. White-dot stickers from an office supply store add a playful touch to the yellow table runner. Cupcake foils make elegant disposable votives. Tie down the tablecloth and runner with twine so they don't blow in the wind.
