This Advent season, I want my table decoration to be slightly different than usual. I’m thinking festive, but not all too Christmassy. Here are three decoration ideas.

Have you stocked up on plenty of Xmas table decorations already? I haven’t, although I'll soon be hosting the first dinner with friends. This year, I’ve decided against one-way napkins with Christmas prints and other decorations I’ll either throw away or hide in the cellar as soon as Christmas is over. I want to go for sustainable options instead.

After quite some scrolling through my endless Pinterest feed, I found three ideas I liked. They’re easy to do, don’t cost much and are suitable for various festive occasions.

1. Repurposing everyday items

Kristina Kite’s «Xtreme Guest» art exhibit included a table decoration that used hair ties instead of napkin rings. I don’t think anybody ever actually ate at this table, but I liked the idea. So, I washed my unused hair ties, slipped one around each napkin and arranged them nicely. That’s how easy it was to make new festive napkin rings.

2. Redesigning things you already own

3. Organic decoration
