Creating beautiful tablescapes is not limited to those with large budgets,
or the fortunate few who have inherited Great Grandmothers heirlooms.
With a little planning and a few dollars you can throw together some lovely tables in no time.
Stacked dishes
This image is from Juliska.
Their dishes are the stuff dreams are made of.
Here they stacked dishes to make sculpture & serving pieces.
Genius!
I daydream about finding them a garage sale or thrift store someday.
OR... if someone just happens to have an extra $700
weighting down their wallet
they can buy me the soup tureen. HA!
For a tutorial on how to make permanant tiered serving dishes from thrift store finds look here
Crystal & Tealights
These are crystal & cut glass vases, candlesticks and small dishes
I snagged at garage sales or thrift store .25-.99 each
Turn the vases/small dishes upside down & top with tea lights.
Group different heights for visual interest.
Fabric runners
Long strips of fabric may be cut to line the center of a table.
Cut strips of fabric. Upholstry & home dec fabric offer varied textures.
Vintage drapes from the thrift store offer a rich look.
WASH THEM FIRST.
Cut with pinking shears, hem, fray or singe edges for a finished look.
Sheer fabrics may be singed with an embossing gun or candle to pucker & add texture.
This is a strip of home dec sheer from Hobby Lobby I had cut
into 12 inch wide strips to go on banquet tables.
Edges & middle were singed to pucker the fabric.
I saw this lovely scape recently at a wedding.
A table covered in tulle with pearls/gems/ flower petals scattered across.

MASON JARS
At a shower I saw these mason jars filled with candies.
Layered ribbon & a jeweled button were wrapped around the middle.

Tablescapes are a fun way to change things up without breaking the budget.
You can use them on nightstands, dining tables, side tables,
countertops and when decorating for events.
Would LOVE to hear/see exapmles of your tablescape ideas.
