If you’re a fan of elegant yet low budget party ideas, you’ll love this Thanksgiving table runner idea from Dawn Nicole. She uses a roll of wide craft paper and a black fine point marker to create a personalized table runner for next to nothing. If your handwriting isn’t as good as hers, you could probably get a similar look using calligraphy style scrapbooking rub-ons or a letter stencil.
If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.
What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.
You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.
If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
