DIY Seating Tag Bottles For Thanksgiving Dinner

DIY Seating Tag Bottles For Thanksgiving Dinner

 

After I finished my grateful thanksgiving sign, I was inspired to make seating tag out of used mini bottles I had. With blue and white colors with natural touch of wood and rope. This upcycling bottles project would be a great functional decoration to complete your lovely thanksgiving dinner party.

What did I prepare for this seating Tag mini bottles :

• Mini glass bottles (Find any used mini bottles you can get from any drinks)
• Blue spray paint
• White Acrylic paint
• Paint Brush
• Organic rope
• Ice sticks
• Black ink pen
• Small doily paper
• Glue
• Scissors

These are steps I took to make the Thanksgiving tag:

1. Clean the used bottles and dry it thoroughly.
2. Spray paint the bottles with blue paint. Let it dry.
3. Paint each bottle with pumpkin on one side and paint the word “Thanks” on the other side by using brush with white paint. Leave it dry. You can always do the easier way with stickers or decoupage to skip the hand painting job.
4. Tie each bottle with organic rope to give an earthy feeling of fall season. The ribbon is on the “Thanks” side and the name tag on the pumpkin side.
5. For the name tag, write down the name of your guest on the ice stick with a black ink pen and then cut the ice stick with beveled edges.
6. Stick the ice stick name tag on the organic rope by the pumpkin side.
7. Fold the doily paper and shape it into a flower. Slip each doily on top of each bottle.
8. My seating tag is ready for the thanksgiving party! Easy DIY!

It turned out to be one of my favorite upcycling bottles project besides two of my other diy painted bottle projects ( Fall Leaves and Geometric Gold ). I love the color blue meets the white and the natural wood tag with organic rope ribbon; and of course the hand painted “Thanks” and pumpkin. And the amazing thing is, you can use this seating tag bottle as a souvenir to thank your guest too! How? Just fill up the mini bottles with some fine chocolates or sweets or even some potpourri. In that way, you have yourself a seating tag and souvenir in one bottle! Isn’t that great?! Nothing is wasted, but everything is pretty and everyone is happy!

See you all!

Be creative and thankful!

DIY Re-Purposing Tissue Cores Into 6 Matches Stylish Party Decorations (Final) – Seating Tag and Napkin Ring

DIY Re-Purposing Tissue Cores Into 6 Matches Stylish Party Decorations (Final) – Seating Tag and Napkin Ring

This is the final post of DIY re-purposing tissue cores into another 6 matches stylish party decorations. After 2 earlier posts, first was the Souvenir Box and Flower Vase, the second one was Paper Tissue and Straw Holder; now the final two matches stylish party decorations are:

1. Seating Tag

For the seating tag, I used paper doily for the name writings media and I cut the tissue core about 45 degree in half. For these two decorations, you need some cutting, so prepare yourself with cutter.

     2. Napkin Ring

Average toilet tissue core can be divided into 3 napkin rings, so cut the cores into 3 even sections. Then decor it wisely, since it is such a small item but you still need it to accentuate your napkin, especially on a white plain napkin.

Again, all I need for this project are only:

1. tissue cores (any sizes will do)

I used 2 types of tissue cores, the one from toilet roll tissue and kitchen towel.

2. paper wrapped (choose the one that will be your color theme and or pattern theme)

I used greenish-yellow and green stripe which I think it’s very simple but speaks a lot.

3. ribbons (choose color that matches the paper wrap but not exactly the same color)

I used light yellow to matched.

4. ribbon flower ornaments ( you can get more color on this but still have to compliment your theme color.

I used pink rose (as an accent) with green leaves (to match the color theme) ribbon ornament.

5. laces

I used small white laces to have it looked more chic.

6. paper doily

Great media for writings and decoration.

For this project you need cutter besides scissors, glue and drawing pen to execute it.

The green and yellow with pink accent is definitely spread the spring colors into the whole party. If you don’t use too many different ornament and decorations, maybe only 5 or 6 items you will stick to the matching theme for the whole party decorations you’ve made.

So all the 6 matches stylish party decorations from tissue cores are

1. Souvenir Box
2. Flower Vase
3. Napkin Tissue Holder
4. Straw Holder
5. Seating Tag
6. Napkin Ring

Well, don’t you find it easy and cheap to accomplish the 6 matches stylish party decorations from tissue cores? Indeed! And green too! So, instead of throwing your tissue cores to the trash bin, let’s try my project with your own personal style. I’m sure your guests will be pleased to be welcome with all handmade personal party decorations, they would think that you put lots of efforts to it, even though it doesn’t cost you that much money and trouble, just creativity!

Note: I just found out about this amazing site, Country View Challenge, where the April’s challenge happens to be “Pimp it up! (reuse or alter something)”. So I hope my post here still eligible for the challenge.

I also entered another challenge : Love To Craft Challenge – May Anything Goes & Allsorts Challenge Blog.

Well, creativity achieved…!

See you again!
