Layering for a Beautiful Table We used a white polyester tablecloth for the base layer of our party layout, but we didn't stop there. Next, we unrolled a length of Silver Glitter Fabric Roll to create a sheer and sparkling layer. This was topped with a Silver Glitter Table Runner. The effect of the three different textures together set the perfect stage for magic. 
A Centerpiece with Details Our centerpiece is comprised of handcrafted gnome hats in different sizes, decorated in fun and festive colors. We added some Wood Block Banks wrapped in darling scrapbook papers, and topped these Paper Mache Stars coated in Craft Snow, with lots of fun vintage miniature findings, shiny bright vintage ornaments, Jingle Bells in silver and gold, and tiny bottle brush trees. We tucked in some faux snow, too; the overall effect is charming and engaging, as every side of this centerpiece offers something new to see. This design also adds height and interest to the table, without blocking eye contact or conversation. 
What do Gnomes Eat? This is a great question, and we've got the answer! Gnomes love foods that are miniature, like mini donuts with Christmas sprinkles! We have to agree, they're quite tasty and fun to eat! 
A Place for Everyone Our place settings repeat the color palette, and are oh-so inviting! We used Silver Paper Dinner Plates, and folded these fun and unique Merry and Mod beverage napkins over a Candy Pink Luncheon Napkin and then tucked our flatware inside. Each guest is given a fancy mug for hot cocoa garnished with a Merry and Mod Cocktail Pick. These really pop and the colors are right on trend this season. 
At each place setting, a tiny handmade Gnome Place Card Holder has a hand lettered name label for guests. These darling friends are handmade from pinecones, cardboard cones, a wood sphere and felt, and are a lovely keepsake for guests to take when the party is over. 
Favorable Touches We created a sweet favor for guests to enjoy before or after the celebrating. These Gnome Hat Party Favor Treat Jars are so much fun! Each treat jar is decked out for the fun in brightly colored felt and embellished with fun trimmings like silver tinsel trim and ric rac. We filled the jars with brightly colored red and green shimmer gumballs, then added a fun hanging tag that reminds guests to "Have a Ball this Christmas!" 
This darling vintage Christmas palette and party table featuring nostalgic, handmade gnomes and decor is a delightful way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family. We hope you've enjoyed taking a peek into our magical Christmas theme party, and have a happy and wonderful holiday season!
