Silver Settings

Picture Frame Favors

These party favors double as place settings. Make them all the same, or make a unique creation for each guest.

It's a place setting and a party favor.

• Small picture frames in black or silver (1 for each guest)
• Vintage buttons
• Hot-glue gun and hot-glue sticks, or jewelry adhesive
• Heavy white paper
• Pen with silver ink
• Scissors

1. Attach buttons to frames. Use hot glue or jewelry adhesive to attach the vintage buttons as desired to the frames. Decide the placement of all of the buttons before you begin to glue.

2. Cut white paper to fit the frames. Cut 1 piece for each frame.

3. Write a guest's name on each piece of paper. Slip the paper into the frame.

4. Place a frame at each place setting.

• Assemble all of the silver containers, vases, and bowls you own and fill them with bouquets of fresh flowers. The variations in the size and style of the containers will add interest to this centerpiece.
• A black tablecloth will make your silver and dinnerware shine, but top the black fabric with a lacy crocheted cloth or shawl, or a sheer fabric runner, to keep the table from looking stark.
