Fast and Fun Table Setting.

I recently had to set a table for a charity luncheon and found myself in the position of needing new table dressings. I did not want to spend a ton of money dressing the table but it needed to look nice.
I decided to only buy things I would actually use on my own table once the event was finished. Here is what I used to make a table setting for less than $5 per chair and a centerpiece for less than $30, of course depending on what you have on hand cost may vary a bit.

Hobby Lobby Items:

My sushi was a gift from a friend bought off etsy but here is a cute tutorial of how to make felt sushi!

This was a super fun project and the kids will love to help with it!

Origami Centerpiece

I had to make a table setting for a charity event some months back and decided I wanted to keep the centerpiece on my counter. Of course the whole thing is much too large to a small apartment counter, so I broke it down a bit and used origami to fill in the gaps.

It really didn't cost anything. Most craft stores like Hobby Lobby will carry Origami paper and there are many varieties. This is so much fun to do with the whole family; everyone can make their own favorite shapes to add!

I love this site for origami instructions they have great videos on some of the tricky pieces. Try it out I would love to see your centerpieces! http://www.origami-instructions.com
