Tips For Planning A Christmas Tablescape

I used a few items that I previously owned; some thrift store finds, repurposed items, and DIY projects to create an inexpensive Christmas Tablescape.

DIY Projects for Christmas Tablescape

All of these items are DIY projects that I’ve shared previously.

Earlier in the fall, I made an easy-to-make table riser for upcoming holiday events.

In addition, I made DIY ticking napkins with cutlery pockets and ticking tassels which I added to a DIY Table runner.

Thrift Store Decor for Christmas Tablescape

Some Thrift Store Items take center stage on this Christmas Tablescape. These items cost only pennies compared to what you would spend purchasing new ones.

The thrifted items on this table include the hurricane lantern centerpiece, wine glasses, grapevine wreaths used as chargers, and a set of black candle holders.

You can save so much money by recycling thrift store finds. Here are some additional tips for shopping in thrift stores.

Foraged Tableware

The pinecones are foraged from our property and received a snowy flocking using this 2 Step Easy Technique. Faux cranberries were scattered on the greenery to help brighten the table and pull together the red-and-white theme.

New Items Used for the Christmas Tablescape

One of my favorite things to search for in vintage shops is dishes.

However, I love all dishes, and although these dishes from Bico Ceramics are new, they definitely have a vintage feel and work perfectly with the DIY Napkins & Tablecloth.

The large pinecones rest on mini cedar wreaths (or candle rings). Another wreath is inside the thrifted hurricane lantern with a battery-operated candle.

DIY Ticking Napkins with Cutlery Pocket

The cutlery pocket adds a unique touch to these DIY Ticking Napkins.

I was inspired to make these napkins after these patriotic napkins made for the 4th of July.

The wrought iron candle holders are another thrift store find, and with the addition of festive napkin rings, they look festive over the Christmas table.

Repurposed Candle Sticks

The thrift store candlesticks look up to date with a fresh coat of black chalk paint. Placing the candlesticks at the end of the table creates a unique and unexpected arrangement.
