Dining Table

The table cloth was soaked in a glue and water mixture so that the fabric would drape over the table and hold its shape. After it dried I had to paint over the table cloth like the buffet table; the white lost its color after gluing it down.











    The charger plates were originally silver I painted them gold. The center piece is an AKA symbol which I reduced and printed.  Everything on the table is attached with wax. I thought about gluing them down but just incase I wanted to change them in the future, the wax was better.
    The tiny silverware kept sticking to my hands. It took me a long minute to attach those; but they are so cute!!! They have a lot of detail.


The table setting is all done!  The table napkins were made from gold tissue paper I had lying around. They're not as cute as I wanted them. I had some green beads which I was going to use as napkin rings but I couldn't get the paper rolled tight enough to go thru. I also had a time trying to glue some of those tiny glasses together that kept coming apart.

                                The chairs were recovered to match the pink and green theme.
    Now that I have the main pieces together I need to finish the room. I still have to put the trim around the bottom and top of the room box; do something about the exposed ceiling wire and practice my soldering. Oh and frame my photos and mirror.
