Love that blue and white. I think those mesh covers are pricey though if you were doing one for each setting. Maybe someone knows where they are cheap.

I saw some of the mesh covers at one of the dollar stores quite awhile back for $1 each, but I think they were silver colored. I love the blue and white table also. What is happening to me? I don't like blue for me!!! LOL

Sandi liking blue, Karen considering pink..oh the miracles!!If anyone sees them in the dollar store let me know. I could paint them white!! I don't have those stores nearby, so please keep your eyes open for me!

Seems like I saw them somewhere too--of course with my memory it could have been a book, on television, or even on here! LOL

They are cute and a good idea even for outdoor meals.

Kathleen, you are right--miracles for sure! LOL You can tell all our posts are having an influence on us.

Those are nice pictures. I love those mesh covers too. I especially like the "bow butterflys", those would be easy to make, you could even make some in christmas colors to put on a christmas tree as decoration...I think.

What is in the middle of those butterflies?? Can anyone tell? And yes, Judith, they would be pretty on a tree and look easy to do.

Even with your "trick" for enlarging the picture, it is hard to tell. Really looks like pearl beads to me. I didn't see the directions for them on the site yet, but I'll bet it is on there somewhere. Luvs

Kathleen, look at these. Maybe something similar with the wired ribbon for the bigger ones. Luvs

Here is a link that might be useful: Butterfly clips

kathleen, it looks like they have run some beads at different sizes on a firm wire, at least that is what I would do based on the little bit of beading that I do.

Luvs, I just looked at your link, that is exactly what I was talking about, and your example is even prettier than the original.

Oh, I have never done beading...not another supply to buy!!!I wonder if I could figure them out with out beads....

Kathleen, do you have any half marbles on hand? Glue them on a ice cream stick and see if that would work. Or if you have any broken jewelry with pearls or stones, use those.

I looked for barettes at Michaels. They had the solid ones in various sizes. Those would work for these too I think. I wanted the open ones so I could make the braided hair clips they discussed on the craft forum.
