Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1




Overlap white linen tablecloths with festive red tablecloths.

Lay simple white tablecloths on all of the tables. Over the tablecloths, place smaller, square red table cloths diagonally over them. You can use red toppers on every other table, giving the room a candy-cane effect or alternate them with seasonal green tablecloths.

2




Layer coffee beans in a candle holder.

Purchase small, square candle holders that are 3 inches deep at your local dollar store. Use a teaspoon to fill them with layers of coffee beans in varying shades of brown. Insert a single white rose in the center of each candle holder. (Insert the flowers just before the party starts in order to keep them from wilting.) Tie a red ribbon around each candle holder and line them along the center of the tables with a couple of inches between each arrangement.

3

Set the tables with individual keepsakes or party favors that also double as place markers. Write the name of each employee on a clear, round glass ornament, using a gold or silver gel marker. Tuck ribbon inside each one. Cut a piece of garland into 6-inch pieces. Tie or tape the pieces together so that it makes a circle. Place it on the center of the dinner plate or directly above it. Gently set the ball ornaments on the garland with the names facing outward for each person to see.

Make Christmas tree ornaments to decorate the gift table. Hot-glue miniature ball ornaments around the 12-inch by 4-inch Styrofoam cone. Add small beads into the spaces between some of the balls. Hot-glue strands of beaded garland around the six-inch by three-inch Styrofoam cones. Arrange the trees by placing the tallest decorated tree in the center and the other four around it. Place greenery around the bottom of all the trees.
