Wheatsworth
Three wheat stems are tied together with a cedar sprig and some tiny pinecones. Make these a day or two ahead with fresh cedar.
Tip: Substitute preserved cedar and make these well in advance. They'll keep for several years.

Red Raffia
One raffia length is tightly wound around all of the pieces, then tied into a simple bow. Use on your tree or on the table.

Tip: Items can be secured more permanently with a dab of hot glue under the raffia.

Navy
The same wheat sprig is place atop a navy napkin bound inside a tiny twig wreath. Twig wreaths of all sizes are available at craft stores. (This one was 50 cents.)

Twig Wreath
Here the small wreath napkin ring is used to hold a pretty ornament that's been garnished with gold wire ribbon.

Favor
The ornament has been placed in one corner of the placemat to be used as a placecard with the guest's name attached on a card. Or emboss names in glitter on the ornament (shown below).
