How to Make Table Toppers

The hardest thing about a table centerpiece is figuring out what to put beneath it. You need a design which will highlight the flowers, candle set, or other decoration without overwhelming it. Luckily, the DIY projects in DIY Home Decor: How to Make Placemats and Other Easy Sewing Projects for a Country Kitchen take all those questions into consideration so that you don't have to!

Each beautiful table topper pattern in the eBook doubles as both a mat and a centerpiece in its own right. You can leave these gorgeous quilt patterns as stand-alones in your dining room table, or use them to accentuate a fresh bouquet. For example, the Hexagon Table Topper (p.29) makes creative use of hexies in a colorful, dynamic design, but won't distract from your centerpiece.
