Feel like hosting a dinner party? Send the invitations out now and dress a table up all gorgeous, like ceramicist and event decorator Elsje Burger has done here.
YOU WILL NEED:
- Books
Cover books in white paper and trim with gold sticker borders, available from craft shops.
- Ceramic trophies
Decorate ceramics or trophies with a mixture of one teaspoon of gold luster and one tablespoon of cold glue – it washes off afterwards. Trophies are available from elsjeburger.co.za, and the gold luster from deckleedge.co.za and craft shops.
- White paper cupcake wrappers
Pinch a wrapper between your fingertips. Dab a few drops of glue on the inside. Push another pinched wrapper inside that, and then a third one. Finally, glue the flowers onto twigs. The large white paper bells are available from most Chinese shops.
