Bandana Tablescape

It truly doesn’t get easier or cheaper than this. Use red and blue bandanas along your table as a runner, as placemats or rolled up atop white plates as a festively all-American tablescape.You can pick these bad boys up at a local dollar store, running you around $6, depending on the amount you decide to purchase.

What you’ll need: 4-6 Red & blue bandanas (count may change per amount of guests)

What you’ll do: Lay out the bandanas as placemats, placing the dinnerware on the center of each. Not having a sit down? No worries! Place the bandanas under your appetizers, serving trays and beverages.
