Just a week left to organize a lovely table setting for Mother’s Day which will be celebrated on May 11th this year. For all those who want to prepare something with or without kids I’ll show you a foolproof decoration. You won’t find any mother not being happy with this wonderful table setting made by her kids. I chose red and white as my favourite colors but you may take any other color you or your mother likes. In the middle we have a garland with little hearts that are glued to a small ribbon with double sided adhesive tape. These small hearts can be made even by the youngest kids if Daddy will draw them. The others will surely prefer to draw and cut by themselves. Even the napkins are folded like a heart and you’ll find the instruction here<\/a>. For the flower embellishing Mum’s place you need 6-8 stripes 8″ long and 1\/2″ wide. The stalk also is 8″ long and 1\/2″ wide and for the leaf I took one of those stripes and rounded it off a little bit. Fold each end of the 6 stripes to one side for 1\/2″ and give some glue on one of these ends. Then place the second end on top and you will have the first petal. Having done this with all six stripes these are glued together at their pointed end. Now glue the leaf to the flower’s stalk and place the stalk between two petals. Fix with some glue too.
\nFor the centerpiece you may take some unostentatious flowers like daisies or lilies of the valley gathered in the garden by your kids. Place them in plain glasses, twist a funny ribbon around and here you are with a nice centerpiece.
\nThe table setting alone is a gorgeous gift and it surely was a pleasure for all who helped preparing it.<\/p>\n
