Christmas Ornament Tabelscape

December 1, 2017

This post was sponsored by JOANN

One of my all time favorite parts of the Holidays is dressing the table for the festivities!  This year I teamed up with the great folks over at JOANN to create a tablescape that adds to the ambiance of the holidays! If you haven’t seen my  Christmas theme yet you might want to check it out here.  I wanted to continue my theme of naturals,  greens, and light colors… I don’t want to brag or anything but I think I nailed it! 

So let me walk you though how I developed the foundation for my tablescape.   I wanted to carry the use of grapevine from my tree to my table, and this is how I did it!  I purchased some grapevine garland from JOANN,  I was able to stretch it out and loosen it up to create a nice slow looping motion. 

In order to make the grapevine stay in the shape I wanted it to, I used a long strip of wood and a staple gun!  I simply tacked the grapevine to the wood to act as a stabilizer. 

I repeated the process down the length of the table.  Next up I added  a simple Pine Garland from JOANN.  It was very realistic and had pine cones, and with the holiday sales they were running I was able to pick it up for $12! Nice.  Next  I needed to add some filler.  I wasn’t entirely certain what I was going to use as a filler, but then as I was browsing JOANN it hit me… or rather I nearly  ran it over.  They had a huge display of clear ornaments!  There was something about them… I like the way they reflected light, and the simplicity of them. So I grabbed an assortment of sizes and prayed my idea would work!  Before checking our  I grabbed a handful of miniature Christmas light strands to play around with and then headed home to experiment.

*Spoiler Alert* It all pans out! 

Well those little stands of light I grabbed as an impulse buy were my saving grace. I threw a few strand in a handful of their large craft bulbs and had a CLEAR winner. (See what I did there?) I ended up adding a touch of gold spray paint to the ornament caps.  You can pick up the spray paint at JOANN and it took all of 5 minutes to do. So if you want to change up your color scheme a bit, this is a great way to do it!

Lastly,  I added a small piece of ribbon to the tops of the ornaments. It just looked like it was missing something, and apparently that “something”was a simple white satin ribbon. AGAIN,  changing out this simple ribbon could be a great way to coordinate with your other home decor. So just mull that option over. 

I also added a simple runner made from ticking available at JOANN fabric section. It tied in the rest of my chargers and flatware perfectly.  

I wanted to carry the centerpiece into my  individual place settings as well, so I fastened a small clear ornament  to a white satin ribbon, and used it in lieu of a napkin ring.  I then snipped a small clipping from my pine garland runner and tucked it in the ribbon.  These little touches cost about $5 TOTAL  to add flare to every place setting! Not too shabby! 

That just about does it! Hopefully I have sparked an idea or two!? All I know is that I now want to use lights in large clear bulbs EVERYWHERE!  I just love the look!

In order to make life less complicated here are links to most of the items I used for this tablescape:

  • Battery Operated Lights
  • Grapevine
  • Pine Garland 
  • Runner Fabric
  • Ribbon 
  • Large Clear Ornaments 
  • Small Clear Ornaments

 

 Thanks so much for reading along, and for the continual  support of my sponsors. It is thanks to companies like JOANN that I can continue to bring you content at no additional cost to you.  Thanks All, and Happy Holidays!

  Take Luck,

 Corey

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
