Add color to a gathering table using a few large decorations that are easy to collect and store afterward. Gather sturdy colored card, scissors, a reusable container, and a clear table.
Set it up
Cut broad circles, stars, or leaves large enough to pick up individually and use a limited palette that suits the occasion.
Put the idea to work
Arrange the shapes in a loose line away from plates and serving dishes, leaving plenty of working room for guests.
Finish and keep it useful
Collect the dry shapes after the event and store them flat with a note describing the arrangement you liked. Avoid tiny loose pieces that scatter into food, vents, or outdoor spaces where they are hard to retrieve.
