For a touch of elegance spray paint some plastic fruits in silver and gold and create a magnificent centerpiece. Less formal, use a fresh vase of daisies that will certainly do the trick.

Once you have enough for a proper napkin holder. Cut the end of the rope and glue it well. Use the stickpins to hold the loops together until they are completely dry. Next glue on the shells or rocks into an interesting arrangement once dried they are ready to use.

You can set them on the table and around the patio to give the area a soft romantic glow.Setting a great summer table is all about you and your creativity.
