Set a creative table in soothing, natural colours. Make napkin rings and preserving jars in macramé and flowers out of crepe paper. You can also make place cards out of round wooden discs and handwritten menu cards, both decorated with attractive stamped designs.

Macramé Napkin Ring Cut 6 x 2 m of cord to make six napkin rings. Find the middle of the 2 m of cord to be pulled into the wooden ring.
2 Pull the ends of the cord through the loop.
3 Tighten the lark’s head knot.
4 Knot the left side of the napkin ring first. Pull the cord through the wooden ring and towards you.
5 Now tighten the knot before continuing.
6 Now thread the cord backwards through the wooden ring and under itself.
7 Tighten the lark’s head knot.
8 The first two knots are now finished.
9 Continue until half the ring is full – around seven knots.
10 Make the other half of the ring in the same way with the other half of the first cord. Repeat steps 4-8.
11 Make loops with the two ends at the bottom on the ring.
12 Tie a knot and tighten to make a bow.
13 Thread a wooden bead onto each of the two ends and, if necessary, use a crochet hook or other tool to pull the cord through.
Macramé Coaster Cut cords: 1 x 1.2 m + 9 x 45 cm per jar.
15 Make a loop (magic ring) with 120 cm of cord. Wrap 9 x 45 cm of cord around the loop with a lark’s head knot. Gather the cords in pairs so that the 9th cord forms a pair with the ends of the magic ring.
16 Place the ring around the edge of the jar and tighten it around the top edge.
17 Close and tighten the ring with a knot. The ends form pairs with the 9th cord on the ring.
18 Knot the pattern with four cords: 2 x 2 on each side. Tie a square knot around the two middle cords with the two outer cords. Make the knot 2.5 cm from the top edge, depending on the size of the jar.
19 Make square knots all the way around for a total of five knots.
20 Repeat a total of three times around the jar with five knots each time.
21 Cut the ends 1 cm from the bottom of the jar so that they are even all the way around.
22 Remove the knotted macramé from the jar and twist the cord with your fingers or a coarse comb.
23 Place a damp tea towel over the ends and iron them flat.
Crepe Flowers Cut the petals out of crepe paper using the stencil. Remember to turn the stencil so that the lines follow the lines of the crepe paper. Cut 2 different sizes and 3 pieces for each flower.
25 Stretch the strip for the centre of the flower stamen and roll the fringes.
26 Roll the strip for the middle of the stamen and then roll it again.
27 Apply a thin layer of glue to the bottom edge of the strip and glue it onto the stick. Start at one end and roll it on as you glue.
28 Bend the top edge of the petals back and forth.
29 Shape the bottom 1/3 of the leaf around your thumb and stretch the crepe paper.
30 Glue on the three small petals in the opposite colour of the flower stamens.
31 Pull them apart so that they overlap slightly.
32 Place one of the three large petals on each overlap.
Menu Card Cut a hole in the middle of the top of the card.
34 Place the desired design on the stamp block and dab colour onto it from the stamp pad. Stamp the upper left corner.
35 Cut 45 cm pieces of satin ribbon and raffia ribbon. Thread them through the hole in the card and tie all four ends together in a knot.
36 Cut the satin ribbon and raffia ribbon to 25 cm long and pull them through the hole in the wooden disc. If necessary, use a crochet hook to help you pull them through.
37 Stamp designs on the wooden discs and write guest names with a marker.
