Created from grosgrain ribbon and vintage or new buttons, these adorable DIY napkin rings will brighten up any table.
To make: For each napkin ring, cut 1.5 centimetre-wide white grosgrain ribbon into five 7-centimetre-long pieces; round ends. Glue one piece on top of the next, offsetting as you go to create a flower shape. Glue a yellow button in the middle and a length of green twine to back for tying.

Unleash the kid in you by creating fun dyed Easter eggs, then use them as decorations for your table. Just remember: go natural! Use food- or plant-based colouring to craft beautifully subdued shades.
To make: Simmer beets, blueberries, or other natural ingredients in a cup of water with a dash of vinegar to create the colors. Leave eggs soaking in the natural egg dye in the refrigerator overnight for the richest color; soak just a few minutes for subtler results.
Mason jars

To make: Place small bunches of fresh flowers into each mason jar.
