15 DIY HOSTESS GIFTS AND TABLE SETTING IDEAS
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I present 10 DIY hostess gifts which include a birdhouse perpetual calendar, a platter with a unique toothpick holder, a scarf bookmark, two types of personalized ornaments-one using a picture of the recipient’s home and one using a map, an animal photo/card holder, a votive candle that looks like a flower, and a variety of ways to decorate a wine (or any type of) bottle-using a sweater, fake fur, and a fabric pouch, and a fun idea for thrifting a container for your bottle. I also present five fun table setting ideas using things you probably already have around the house. I show you how to create place card holders using sticks, how to add texture to a place setting using a scarf, ornaments, and even wicker paper plate holders. I also share some printables that you can include at each place setting-one is a Christmas Bible verse, the others are Christmas carol sheet music. I’m sure some of these ideas you have never seen before. I hope you find them helpful!

I just kept saying outloud, " oh my gosh, oh my gosh" to each and every one. Could you hear me. So lovely
That little deer, that you put the card onto, would make a cute place holder, for a child's table.
My jaw dropper this week was the birdhouse perpetual calendar because I’m a sucker for anything involving birds. What fun that you are doing a Q&A. I will be traveling Tuesday but will watch it later. My Q is…. Do you ever sleep, LOL. JK. I’d actually like to know what you were like as a child/teenager, why you became an English teacher, and what your favorite book was to teach about. My son used to be a fantastic HS English teacher and his was The Grapes of Wrath. He’s a corporate sales trainer now. Works remotely and lives in a rural area where he recently bought a home on six acres! I’m very proud of him ❤️!

Michelle, you know I love birds, too! Your son sounds like a really interesting young man . Anyone who loves Grapes of Wrath is a friend of mine. Steinbeck🥰 I’m sorry that you will miss the live chat, but I wrote down your questions, so I’ll remember to answer them. Merry Christmas!
I think Tuesday has come to be one of my favorite days of the week solely because of your videos.

The bottle with fur wrap and hat is so great.

That’s one of my favorite books too. If you’re missing baby Jesus, that is excellent. Excellent story about Christmas.

Dear Sherry, I still wish I were your neighbor. I would always be inspired to learn and become more creative. Growing up we only decorated for Christmas since we only have two seasons: hot and not so hot. Looking forward to next Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.; in the meantime Merry Christmas to you and your family and all of your subscribers. Sincerely, Liz
I love that you included the real story of Christmas in your video today. When we were kids our mom started a tradition of reading the Christmas story from the Bible on Christmas night. We would all gather around and she would ready by the light of a coal oil lantern or by candle light. She is gone now but we have all continued the tradition with our kids and grandkids. Merry Christmas!
Love, love, love the nativity pieces with Bible verse! Would be cute with children's nativity pieces, too!
I love the way you think outside the box! You have a creative gift and your are an inspiration ! God bless you and your family this Christmas.
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas - hope to join you on Tuesday night 😉
My son's name is Spencer! lol So many great ideas, again. There is no end to your ingenuity, Sherry! My question is, "Since you love books so much, did you want to be a librarian when you were a little girl?"
Merry Christmas to one of the most creative crafters on KZread! Looking forward to next week.

Would love to see a video on how to use the Cricut! You're such a great teacher and there aren't a lot of good videos on using the Cricut.
Great idea for next week's program! Your table settings look more elegant and festive than those presented by vloggers who constantly buy things and spend a fortune on their items! Have a wonderful gathering.
The last table setting is a sweet way to remember the birth of our savior. Merry Christmas

Hi Sherri. I love the tree ornaments and the bottles
I bought that book, .."missing baby Jesus"..at a thrift store about 15 years ago! I have loved reading it out loud at Christmas gatherings.
You have some very sweet ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
My favorite today is the last place setting! Thank you for so much inspiration!
I love ALL these ideas….but will certainly be making the map ornament for my daughter who lives far away in another state…what a special gift to tie to a package!!
I love the nativity table setting.
For next Tuesdays Q&A I would like to know what you do with all of the things you make. Do you have a store or booth? Or do you keep and gift all of the things you make? You are so creative. I love watching your videos.

I'm new to your channel and I am extremely impressed! Martha Stewart has nothing on you. You're narrating and explanations are clear and you always give options if we don't happen to have something on hand in our stash. I went back and watched some of your previous videos. I appreciate the fact that you give us new content. And you don't spend time talking about your kids, grandkids, or pets. You must have a big home and are very organized because like me you buy thrifted items and recycle or upcycle them. If sometime down the road you're looking for something new to present to us, organizational hacks and ideas would be welcomed. I look forward to your videos and new ideas. I wish you a happy holiday season and thank you for inspiring and sharing your creative ideas with us. God bless!

Lovely! To recommend another product, Glitter glue (any brand) has been a game changer for me. Instead of putting hot glue on the leaves and dipping in glitter, you would just squeeze out the glitter glue. Way less messy and after it is dry the glitter is not coming off.
See you Tuesday evening! Love your videos. So inspirational.!
A perfect Florida morning coffee and Sherrie I love your videos.... I wish you could come to my house.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful thank you and Feliz Navidad

As usual I loved everything! I especially love all the different place settings. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!
Very beautiful and affordable and natural materials: it's a win, win, win! One year my Christmas card showed the images of the twelve days of Christmas and at dinner, each person sang the verse to one day. But they had to start at the beginning. It was fun, and my family enjoyed it very much. I have the cookie cutter set of the 12 days of Christmas. They are a collectable now, lol. Nothing like making you feel old, when your possessions are vintage or retro collectibles! A very Merry Christmas to you and all your family and subscribers!
Wonderful as usual.
Awesome place settings! Have a wonderful Christmas Sherri ❣️

I sure didn't think there was time or anything more you could squeeze in before Christmas, but you did. Done so well. Thanks for the inspiration. My favorite idea was the Bible verses at each setting telling the story. Just brilliant. We usually read it at some point. I am not a fan of chargers under plates, what do you do with them afterwards!? But your wicker paper plate holders and woven place mats are a perfect option for me. THANKS. Also, thanks for the suggestion of the book. I immediately ordered it on ebay. It will arrive just after Christmas but that's OK, we have another gathering in early January. I will add it to my other hidden nativity scenes/books/ornaments/toys hidden throughout my home. I now have over 40. I mentioned before that I did it for my special needs daughter and grandsons, but my husband is hilarious trying to find the new ones and keep track of them. I am hoping it will be a fond memory for everyone. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I loved your different table scapes. Such unique ideas. Love the way your mind works 😃😊
I want to come to your house for Christmas!
Sounds like so much fun! I want to know how you got started in business, what you did before, and how much work you put into your shop! There are a few KZreadrs I would love to meet, you are definitely one of them! So much inspiration and budget friendly. Merry Christmas Sherry!

The table settings were beautiful. I love that you use everyday items that you see around your home that you would never think of using as a table setting. Lol, love it. I am so happy that I found your page this year. It has made my Tuesday mornings. Can't wait to see what you do in the new year. Happy holidays!
I loved these simple and somewhat rustic tablescapes and settings. The ideas are warm and charming just like yourself. Hoping your Christmas is filled with joy and love. I'll be back next week for the chat.💕 Maybe talk about what inspires you? 🤟🎁🎅🤶🥂
As usual I loved everything you created1 God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!
Great video... For your Q&A live chat I'm interested in your pricing strategies for your vintage booth since I have one here in Virginia and struggle with pricing that would cover overhead costs, make a profit and not be out of range for my customer. Also, maybe a little personal inquiries such as your family dynamics and hobbies... Other than the obvious crafting 😊... Any great tried and true recipes
