#21: A Beautiful Table Goes a Long Way
Tablecloths are one excellent way to protect and decorate your holiday table at the same time. You can instantly dress up your table with color while hiding unsightly scratches or dents. The only trouble with tablecloths, however, is that they are susceptible to stains. You don’t want to flinch every time somebody drips gravy all over your grandmother’s linen, do you?
Instead, cover your table with a large piece of kraft paper. Not only will it hide any table blemishes, but it will also make cleanup a snap. For an extra measure of fun, you can draw decorations all over it! Or, better yet, hand a few crayons to the kids and let them entertain themselves while the adults enjoy their meals.
