Father's Day Table Decorating Ideas
It's great to have a table decoration for Father's Day. But this year skip the fluffy flower arrangements and decorate the table with something unique, just for Dad. Try some of these special ideas and enjoy planning a terrific Father's Day for all the fathers in your life.
SOMETHING FISHY FATHER'S DAY CENTERPIECE
For the fisherman or outdoorsman in your family.
What You'll Need:
- a fresh or silk arrangement of a variety of leaves and greens
- fish-themed holiday ornaments
- fishing accessories
Make (or order from a florist) a fresh arrangement made only of leaves and greens. Put it in a long low container, and aim for the look of a clump of plants at the bottom of a riverbed. Add rocks and twigs at the base if desired. Next, wire or thread fish-themed holiday ornaments onto some of the greens. You can also glue the ornaments to small sticks (try a kabob skewer). This should look like the fish are swimming underwater.
Tip: Place fish all around the arrangement so everyone can see them. If desired, decorate the rest of the table with a few fishing themed accessories.
EXTRA SWEET DAD'S DAY CENTERPIECE
What You'll Need:
- large bowl (glass, plastic, ceramic, wood, or metal)
- variety of candy
- sparkles, confetti, or glitter
Place a large bowl in the center of your table and fill with Dad's favorite candy. Around the tabletop add sparkles, confetti, or glitter and foil wrapped candies. Scatter some loose pieces of wrapped candy around the table.
Tip: If you need to, fill the bottom of an opaque bowl with styrofoam peanuts (safely sealed inside a plastic bag) to take up some of the extra room before placing the candy on top.
