Here are some examples of other people's place settings that I found on
Pinterest. If you'd like to follow me on

I found this on
Or So She Says.... She has a great how-to. I'm not great with acrylic paint, so I'd opt for a gold or silver Sharpie marker. Look for the little nests in the floral department of Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
This one seems so simple and FUN! I found it on
All You.com. You can find M & M's of all one color at Party City, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby.
Super affordable and your guests can take this one home! I found it on
With a Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart. Use simple twine, string, or even embroidery floss to bind the sticks together. If you want to skip on the tags, you could type of the verse on some paper or card stock and cut it into strips. You could lay it with the strip or even glue the strip. Since it's sticks, simply use Elmer's glue.
This one is a little different, but I love it:
I found this on
Apartment Therapy. If your local store has carrots with the green tops attached, you could totally use those, too. It reminds me of the poem by Else Holmelund Minarik:
Little seeds we sow in spring
growing while the robins sing,
give us carrots, peas and beans,
tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and greens.
And we pick them,
one and all,
through the summer,
through the fall.
Winter comes, then spring, and then
little seeds we sow again.
Enjoy! Remember, relax and don't make hosting a chore.
