Since this is the last Thursday of the month, I thought I’d do a New Year’s Tablescape. I had so much fun with this one! I knew that I wanted to use a lot of sparkle, and what better way to add sparkle than using things with a metallic finish? And mirrors, lots and lots of mirrors! So this is the tablescape that I came up with… Happy New Year Everyone!
I started with a New Year’s Vignette using a black top hat, and in a crystal vase just behind the hat, I added black & silver beaded sprays, silver holographic glittered sprays & silver glittered curly Ting Ting.
Next was the table… I started with a silver tablecloth, then added gold chargers & topped them with round silver trays.
The place setting was a little interesting. I wanted a plate with a clock that said midnight, but I didn’t have one, so I went online & found a clock face clip art, enlarged it to 4″ wide & printed out 4 of them. I cut the clock face out & put it in the center of the silver tray. Then I added clear plates on top of the clock face. Silver flatware gave it the touch that I wanted.
I used a white napkin trimmed in gold and silver & gold napkin rings. I love the way the white of the napkins reflects on the tablecloth.
The glassware was trimmed in gold.
Then the fun began. I gathered lots of crystal, mirrors, & silver. I started with a 12″ square mirror, then added crystal candle holders. I added a small mirrored disco ball to the tallest candle holder & silver glitter ornaments to the other ones. I used small mirrors as scatter, silver tea light holders with white tea lights.
I added small crystal clocks, each one had the battery removed & the hands set to midnight.
And the New Year’s Tablescape was finished!

And when I lit the candles, the whole atmosphere changed.
Hope you enjoyed my New Year’s Tablescape. I’m wishing everyone a safe, healthy & prosperous New Year filled with good friends & lots of love.
Happy Creating everyone!
