  However intimate or grand, any gathering is enhanced by a well-decorated table, but such table-settings need not be time-consuming or expensive. This book shows how a well-coordinated and attractive effect can be achieved, with a collection of over 17 themes for any occasion, from an intimate dinner to Christmas or a special birthday party. There are also ideas for simple occasions such as a summer alfresco lunch or a harvest supper. All the techniques needed to create the table settings are illustrated, from stencilling tablecloths to drying flowers or making papier mache bowls. In addition, the centre of the book contains a number of pull-out items, from napkin rings and place-cards to tracings for stencil patterns.
