Decorating a Dining Table With Scarfs

Instead of leaving your dining table's surface unadorned during holidays and celebrations, you can decorate it with scarves. Due to the many colors, patterns, and weaves of these pieces of fabric, you can find some that will complement your dining area and add festivity to the season. The best part is that you don't have to be well-versed in interior decorating to make this idea a success. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

Layered Scarves

1

Unfold the large square scarf in the color, pattern, and fabric you desire.

2

Place the scarf with two of the corners pointing toward the ends of your square table, so it appears to be a diamond shape when you stand at the head, foot, or sides of the table.

3

Place the smaller scarf on top of the larger scarf either with the corners lined up or not. No matter which way you place the smaller scarf, the larger scarf will form a border under it.

Striped Effect

4

Place one long, rectangular scarf lengthwise on top of the table.

5

Place another rectangular scarf on top of, and parallel to, the first scarf. Leave 2 to 3 inches of the bottom scarf peeking out.

6

Repeat Step 2 with the rest of the scarves until you have created a striped effect.
