Make a tablecloth weight

accreditation

Problem:

Summer breezes blow up your tablecloth whenever you dine alfresco.

Solution:

Make your own special weights using pictures of your baby.
Here's how:

  • Collect and spray-paint several jar lids of the same size.
  • Punch or drill a hole into the side of the lid.
  • Push the keyring clip through the hole.
  • Fill the lid with plaster of Paris and before the plaster dries, place a picture that you've cut to fit into the plaster. 
  • Push down gently.
  • You can paste a picture on the other side too or leave it a solid colour.
  • Once the paint, glue and plaster has dried, seal your art with several layers of modge podge pr clear varnish.
  • Attach the crocodile clip and it's ready to hang off your tablecloth.
  • These make great gifts for granny too.
