I always see nice tabletop decorations but refuse to spend an arm and a leg on a piece that won't sit out but a month.  I wanted something festive and sparkly for the dining table and decided I can make my own.



I grabbed some garland from the dollar store and rolled up some poster board to make my own tree forms.  Using hot glue, I started at the top and rolled the garland around the sides, gluing every couple inches.



Now I have three trees for cheap.  The blue and silver one is my favorite.
 

I set them on the dining table.  Here are the silver ones.


And the blue and silver one on the other end.
 

I mixed some red along with the blue in my table to pull the colors from the rest of the downstairs.  I grabbed the blue chargers in Michaels last week.  The centerpiece is a glass vase with silver and blue balls.  A small wreath with red berries sits at the base.  I kept the smaller vases and candles on the sides.
 

There are more tweaks I want to make to the table but this has got me started.
 

Have you set your Christmas table yet?
