Holiday Table Decor - Rustic Nature Theme

Let's decorate the dining room table with another option, using nature.  Our first option was ultra modern now it's a rustic theme.  We're bringing the outside indoors by incorporating fresh pine, moss and tree trunks into this table scape.  Santa and his wooden sleigh is our focal point.
The table runner is burlap which is inexpensive and no sewing required.  Pull and remove 5 rows of thread from each edge and you get a great looking fringe.
During the holiday season fresh pine is readily available.  You can also use artificial greens purchased from a craft store.  I cut branches from a live pine tree in the backyard for the table.

 

Steps to Rustic Theme Table
1.  Place Santa and decorative package on a low 12 inch tree trunk in the center of the table on top of burlap runner.
2.  Low red vases stand on each side of Santa.  Beautiful bowls, candles or fresh flowers would also look good.
3.  Spread greens along the length of the table runner.
4.  Decorate with red berries, small tree trunks, pine cones, moss and votives with pine candles.
