Set a creative table in soothing, natural colours. Make napkin rings and preserving jars in macramé and flowers out of crepe paper. You can also make place cards out of round wooden discs and handwritten menu cards, both decorated with attractive stamped designs.

Macramé Napkin Ring Cut 6 x 2 m of cord to make six napkin rings. Find the middle of the 2 m of cord to be pulled into the wooden ring.
4 Knot the left side of the napkin ring first. Pull the cord through the wooden ring and towards you.
10 Make the other half of the ring in the same way with the other half of the first cord. Repeat steps 4-8.
13 Thread a wooden bead onto each of the two ends and, if necessary, use a crochet hook or other tool to pull the cord through.
15 Make a loop (magic ring) with 120 cm of cord. Wrap 9 x 45 cm of cord around the loop with a lark’s head knot. Gather the cords in pairs so that the 9th cord forms a pair with the ends of the magic ring.
18 Knot the pattern with four cords: 2 x 2 on each side. Tie a square knot around the two middle cords with the two outer cords. Make the knot 2.5 cm from the top edge, depending on the size of the jar.
Crepe Flowers Cut the petals out of crepe paper using the stencil. Remember to turn the stencil so that the lines follow the lines of the crepe paper. Cut 2 different sizes and 3 pieces for each flower.
27 Apply a thin layer of glue to the bottom edge of the strip and glue it onto the stick. Start at one end and roll it on as you glue.
34 Place the desired design on the stamp block and dab colour onto it from the stamp pad. Stamp the upper left corner.
35 Cut 45 cm pieces of satin ribbon and raffia ribbon. Thread them through the hole in the card and tie all four ends together in a knot.
