Get crafting to make DIY table decorations with our easy ideas. Try making a simple centrepiece with candles and greenery. Assemble some colourful popcorn garlands for a table runner, or help everyone find their seats with inventive placeholders.
Festive candle centrepiece
This beautiful centrepiece is sure to be the star of your Christmas dinner table. It smells as good as it looks, made with clove-studded clementines, rosemary, bay leaves and cinnamon.
Biscuit place tags
Help your guests find their place with these fun, edible biscuit place tags. Spiced with ground cardamom and cinnamon, they're equal parts delicious and decorative. Cut the dough out into your favourite shapes then write the names with royal icing on top.
Meringue candy canes
These festive red and green striped meringues will look striking on any dinner table. Paint a few stripes of food colouring gel onto the inside of piping bags, then fill with peppermint-flavoured meringue. Pipe into candy cane shapes, then bake.
Rosemary wreath place holders
For another take on a festive place holder, try making small rosemary wreaths. The greenery looks rustic and elegant, with the added bonus of aroma. Tie name tags to the curled rosemary sprigs, so everyone knows their spot at the dinner table.
Popcorn bunting
Assemble this versatile bunting to hang from a window, decorate your Christmas tree or drape across a dinner table. Cooked popcorn is covered in sugar mixed with food colouring, then laced together with a needle and thread.
Dried orange slices
Scatter these dried orange slices across the entire table, attach to a garland or place individual slices at each place setting. Use whatever citrus you have on hand, baking the thin slices for two hours until firm and dry.
