4. You can use paper cards, small Ramadan Lights, Santa Claus, a plastic flower and much more as your dangler and customize each dinner party to a theme.

 

Centerpiece Winterstyle

 

Your dining table set up cannot go without a centerpiece that adds warmth to the winter season.

 

You need:

·        Large glass serving plate (you can use a glass pyrex that you don’t use anymore)

·        Stones or marbles or colored plastic stones (available at gift shops)

·        5 small glass candle holders

·        5 tea lights

 

 

Do it yourself:

1.      Wash stones and place on the bottom of the glass plate.

2.      Put the tea lights in the small candle holders and place them between the stones. Make sure they are stable and supported by the stones. You can add some more stones around the candle holders to give support.

3.      Add some water to the glass plate. Do so very slowly as not to move the set up. Once stones are covered don’t pour more water.

4.      If you have some rose petals add them to the water, it will look nice. Scented candles are also a good idea. Try to put some scented oil to the water, with the heat of the candles the oil will evaporate and scent the air.
