Dressing up a card table?!
Dressing up a card table?
For Thanksgiving, we're having 20 people over. We have a kitchen table that seats 4, a dining room table that seats 6, another table that seats 6, and a card table that seats 4. What can I do to dress up the card table? It's square so table cloths don't work--what else can I do? Also, keep in mind this table is going to be the kid's table. Thanks!
Answers:
Get a roll of plain white paper and cut of a square sheet. You know the kind of paper, they use it at the doctors in the patients room. Get a color book with turkey pictures or some other approriate picture and copy the pictures onto the paper cloth. Place a small box of crayons next to each plate and let the kids color in the turkeys or whatever. We use that white paper at picnics all the time, it works great.
Go to the dollar store and buy you a orange plastic tablecloth.Now cut it to fit your table.For your center piece--ask one of the kids to bring some of their holiday decorations.You can put clean leaves under the pieces to dress it up.You will make their day, and they will be helping you decorate for the dinner.Happy Thanksgiving........
