15 DIY HOSTESS GIFTS AND TABLE SETTING IDEAS

- In this video, I present 10 DIY hostess gifts which include a birdhouse perpetual calendar, a platter with a unique toothpick holder, a scarf bookmark, two types of personalized ornaments-one using a picture of the recipient’s home and one using a map, an animal photo/card holder, a votive candle that looks like a flower, and a variety of ways to decorate a wine (or any type of) bottle-using a sweater, fake fur, and a fabric pouch, and a fun idea for thrifting a container for your bottle. I also present five fun table setting ideas using things you probably already have around the house. I show you how to create place card holders using sticks, how to add texture to a place setting using a scarf, ornaments, and even wicker paper plate holders. I also share some printables that you can include at each place setting-one is a Christmas Bible verse, the others are Christmas carol sheet music. I’m sure some of these ideas you have never seen before. I hope you find them helpful!

My jaw dropper this week was the birdhouse perpetual calendar because I’m a sucker for anything involving birds. What fun that you are doing a Q&A. I will be traveling Tuesday but will watch it later. My Q is…. Do you ever sleep, LOL. JK. I’d actually like to know what you were like as a child/teenager, why you became an English teacher, and what your favorite book was to teach about. My son used to be a fantastic HS English teacher and his was The Grapes of Wrath. He’s a corporate sales trainer now. Works remotely and lives in a rural area where he recently bought a home on six acres! I’m very proud of him ❤️!
Michelle, you know I love birds, too! Your son sounds like a really interesting young man . Anyone who loves Grapes of Wrath is a friend of mine. Steinbeck🥰 I’m sorry that you will miss the live chat, but I wrote down your questions, so I’ll remember to answer them. Merry Christmas!
I just kept saying outloud, " oh my gosh, oh my gosh" to each and every one. Could you hear me. So lovely
That little deer, that you put the card onto, would make a cute place holder, for a child's table.
I think Tuesday has come to be one of my favorite days of the week solely because of your videos.
That is such a lovely thing to say, Phyllis! Thank you so much! Hope you can join the chat on Tuesday night. Merry Christmas!
That’s one of my favorite books too. If you’re missing baby Jesus, that is excellent. Excellent story about Christmas.
My favorite place sitting is the blue with the verses, but they are all very very pretty!!
Thank you. That was my favorite idea this week, too. Hope you can join the chat next week! Merry Christmas!
Dear Sherry, I still wish I were your neighbor. I would always be inspired to learn and become more creative. Growing up we only decorated for Christmas since we only have two seasons: hot and not so hot. Looking forward to next Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.; in the meantime Merry Christmas to you and your family and all of your subscribers. Sincerely, Liz
My son's name is Spencer! lol
So many great ideas, again. There is no end to your ingenuity, Sherry!
My question is, "Since you love books so much, did you want to be a librarian when you were a little girl?"
Lovely ideas! It would be the highlight of the Season to be a guest at your home!
These are excellent ideas!
I love that you included the real story of Christmas in your video today. When we were kids our mom started a tradition of reading the Christmas story from the Bible on Christmas night. We would all gather around and she would ready by the light of a coal oil lantern or by candle light. She is gone now but we have all continued the tradition with our kids and grandkids. Merry Christmas!
Wow! Once again I loved everything! I thought the bottle cozies were so cute & each place setting was so beautiful & unique. I almost forgot! I loved the deer card holder. That was so sweet.
Thank you so much, Lauri! Hope you can make the live chat next week! Merry Christmas!
The bottle with fur wrap and hat is so great.
Love, love, love the nativity pieces with Bible verse! Would be cute with children's nativity pieces, too!
I bought that book, .."missing baby Jesus"..at a thrift store about 15 years ago! I have loved reading it out loud at Christmas gatherings.
The white and blue was the most beautiful dinner setting! I love you Sherry!
Great idea for next week's program! Your table settings look more elegant and festive than those presented by vloggers who constantly buy things and spend a fortune on their items! Have a wonderful gathering.
Шерри, у вас золотые руки! Вы создаёте сказочную красоту! С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео!
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much! Blessings to you and your family!
Hi Sherry! Thank You again for all your wonderful ideas! I just wanted to let you know like thousands of other fans I often watch your videos on my tv.
I noticed I’m not able to “like” your videos when watching on tv. I hope your not missing “ likes” and that all your “big” screen watchers are counted in as viewers too. To you and your own best beloveds have a wonderful and Happy Christmas 💝
Good morning, Valerie! I appreciate you watching. No worries about not being able to “like” my videos. Leaving a comment is an even better way to show that you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
Would love to see a video on how to use the Cricut! You're such a great teacher and there aren't a lot of good videos on using the Cricut.
I'm new to your channel and I am extremely impressed! Martha Stewart has nothing on you. You're narrating and explanations are clear and you always give options if we don't happen to have something on hand in our stash. I went back and watched some of your previous videos. I appreciate the fact that you give us new content. And you don't spend time talking about your kids, grandkids, or pets. You must have a big home and are very organized because like me you buy thrifted items and recycle or upcycle them. If sometime down the road you're looking for something new to present to us, organizational hacks and ideas would be welcomed. I look forward to your videos and new ideas. I wish you a happy holiday season and thank you for inspiring and sharing your creative ideas with us. God bless!
Thank you for those kind comments! I do have a lot of storage and a lot of stuff! Perhaps, I can plan an organizational video. Thanks for the suggestion! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
For next Tuesdays Q&A I would like to know what you do with all of the things you make. Do you have a store or booth? Or do you keep and gift all of the things you make? You are so creative. I love watching your videos.
Thank you, Darcie! I will definitely answer those questions in the Q & A. Hope you can join the live chat! Merry Christmas!🎄
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas - hope to join you on Tuesday night 😉
Merry Christmas to one of the most creative crafters on CZcams! Looking forward to next week.
Thank you, Laura! That is so sweet of you to say! I’m excited to chat with you next week!
The last table setting is a sweet way to remember the birth of our savior. Merry Christmas
That was my favorite idea this week!
I love the way you think outside the box! You have a creative gift and your are an inspiration ! God bless you and your family this Christmas.
The fur stole and hat on the wine bottle; so cute! 🥰
I do so enjoy your show you have taught us so much in 2021 on how to bring nature into the house I love the idea of the table setting with a Bible verses so each person could read until the story of our Lord Jesus Christ sorry I won't be able to join in on the live but we'll be looking forward to it after God bless you my dear friend and Merry Christmas
Lovely! To recommend another product, Glitter glue (any brand) has been a game changer for me. Instead of putting hot glue on the leaves and dipping in glitter, you would just squeeze out the glitter glue. Way less messy and after it is dry the glitter is not coming off.
Thank you for inspiring me! A Q&A video is a wonderful idea! I'd love to know about your background...schooling, how you got into crafts, etc. Thank you! May you and your family have a very very blessed Christmas, and a safe and healthy new year! 🙏
Thank you, Julie! I was just checking out your channel. You have some really interesting videos that I am planning on watching-especially, the food videos! Thanks for the questions. I will be sure to answer them in the Q & A. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
@@CanterburyCottage Thank you! I'm looking forward to it! 😊

I am appericite that you talk so well. It is very easy to underststand you, because my first language isn't english. Thank you🙂
I love ALL these ideas….but will certainly be making the map ornament for my daughter who lives far away in another state…what a special gift to tie to a package!!
I really love your blue and white table setting with the Bible verse and nativity animal at each spot!
This was my favorite idea this week, too! Merry Christmas, Sarah!
You have some very sweet ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
You are such a lovely, elegant lady. Your crafting is next level always ❤️
Ana, thank you for those kind words! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!

@@CanterburyCottage you are so welcome! I am definitely going to give it my best shot. I have four young grandsons all ages six and under and they are here much more then part time lol.

Hi Sherri. I love the tree ornaments and the bottles
My favorite today is the last place setting! Thank you for so much inspiration!
Oh Sheri what beautiful gifts I’m always surprised by your creativity.. I absolutely love the idea of each person (grandchildren) reading a piece of Bible verses narrating the birth of our Savior..
Can’t wait for the QA video…
🎄💕🌹
Thank you! I am so excited to chat with you during the Q & A! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Oh! Just loved everything! Especially all the blue China arranged on shelves behind table!
Loved all of today’s ideas…can’t wait for the live release next week.
Merry Christmas..!
Sheri ~ can't wait to "get started" every Tuesday! You never disappoint! What a treasure you are. I wish you and your family a safe, healthy, and fun Christmas. Looking forward to next week!! A Canadian fan.
I am so glad that you are enjoying my channel. I’m excited to chat with you next week! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!🎄
Love them All!
You are such a blessing! Such a bright light! Thank you! & Merry CHRISTmas! ✝️
Thank you for those kind words! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
Hello from Azerbaijan.Hi
Sherry you are right,it is realy easy and unexpensive
I loved these simple and somewhat rustic tablescapes and settings. The ideas are warm and charming just like yourself. Hoping your Christmas is filled with joy and love. I'll be back next week for the chat.💕 Maybe talk about what inspires you? 🤟🎁🎅🤶🥂
Another great video, thank you Sherri ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊
Thank you, Janet! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
A perfect Florida morning coffee and Sherrie I love your videos.... I wish you could come to my house.
Beautiful place settings. Wishing you and yours and wonderful holiday.

I sure didn't think there was time or anything more you could squeeze in before Christmas, but you did. Done so well. Thanks for the inspiration. My favorite idea was the Bible verses at each setting telling the story. Just brilliant. We usually read it at some point.
I am not a fan of chargers under plates, what do you do with them afterwards!? But your wicker paper plate holders and woven place mats are a perfect option for me. THANKS.
Also, thanks for the suggestion of the book. I immediately ordered it on ebay. It will arrive just after Christmas but that's OK, we have another gathering in early January. I will add it to my other hidden nativity scenes/books/ornaments/toys hidden throughout my home. I now have over 40. I mentioned before that I did it for my special needs daughter and grandsons, but my husband is hilarious trying to find the new ones and keep track of them. I am hoping it will be a fond memory for everyone.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Beautiful and fun. Loved all the Scripture as well!!! It’s the reason for the season! Blessings
Love your ideas and love watching your show
Everything is so beautiful as usual...
I'm looking forward to the live chat. My fingers crossed that I don't have to work. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you, Corinna! 🥰 I hope you can make the live chat. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
Sherri, loved the place setting with the Bible verses awesome idea ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Kathy! The Bible verse place settings was my favorite idea this week, too! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!🎄
You are amazing! So creative!
You bring us so much Joy.
Thank you so much!🥰

Thank you, Grammy Bear! Merry Christmas!🎄
Sounds like so much fun! I want to know how you got started in business, what you did before, and how much work you put into your shop! There are a few CZcamsrs I would love to meet, you are definitely one of them! So much inspiration and budget friendly. Merry Christmas Sherry!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful thank you and Feliz Navidad
I love the nativity table setting.
The table settings are so thoughtful and perfect. I love them. I also really love the rotating calendar/birdhouse idea. And, it was cute that you included your family's Christmas card during one of the shots - I would love to hear more about your family. Did you raise your children in the home you live in now? Where is your booth located? And where did you get your glasses?? Also, I'd love to hear more about where you shop for clothes. Your personal style is just as fabulous as your decor style!!! Can't wait for next week!
And very merry Christmas to you and yours!!
The stick name card holders were adorable🤶🌲🤶The table setting is perfect. I feel like showing up at your house for Christmas dinner🎄❤🎄
I have extra chairs in the basement!😉
Sherry, you can talk about anything and you know we will listen!!! HaHa!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! Jeanne
LOVE this video! Great ideas, cute, easy and fun. Thank you,
Thanks so much! 😊
Oooh, I can't wait! Yay! I'm such a fan girl you can talk about anything. ☺
Thanks, Kim! I’m excited to chat with you! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
@@CanterburyCottage and to you and yours as well! 🎄🎅
Beautiful as always ! Thanks and Merry Christmas
Thank you, Ladonna! Merry Christmas to you and your family, too! 🎄
I want to come to your house for Christmas!
Such pretty table settings! I would love your ideas for Valentine’s Day table setting!
As usual Sherri, you did not disappoint. Great ideas and you make them look so simple. Thank You!
I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🤶🏻🎅🏼❄️☃️ and a prosperous New Year! 🎊🎉🎆2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣

Thank you, Linda! I’m so glad that you liked today’s projects! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family, too!
Everything is stunning! As usual. But seriously the table settings are incredible. Fresh and doable not overwhelming The bible verse idea is wonderful Thank you again for sharing your creativity. I still have time to make it happen!!! Thank you Sherry. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you, Calico Kitten!🐈 The Bible verse was my favorite idea this week, too! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
My favorite was the Bible verses for place settings.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🌟
Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!🎄
Very beautiful and affordable and natural materials: it's a win, win, win! One year my Christmas card showed the images of the twelve days of Christmas and at dinner, each person sang the verse to one day. But they had to start at the beginning. It was fun, and my family enjoyed it very much. I have the cookie cutter set of the 12 days of Christmas. They are a collectable now, lol. Nothing like making you feel old, when your possessions are vintage or retro collectibles! A very Merry Christmas to you and all your family and subscribers!
My mom always had different toothpick holders, she just loved stuff like that. The jewelry and bead glue is a brilliant idea, I never would have thought about it. It has a pointy tip, so that seems useful, as well. I have just been thinking about making different things, by using a maps. I using maps. I also have an old atlas book, and I am thinking about starting to use it, but it is such a neat old book, I don't know that I want to tear it up. I have old dictionaries, too, that I am not so sure I want to tear up. I love dictionaries. I love the stole around the bottle, and the blue place setting, at the end, with the animals. I love the old blue, red, or green dishes, like that. Great job, yet again.
Thank you, Miss Molly! I struggle with using old books in projects, too. You could take a picture of the page in the atlas that you want to use and print that image out. It is surprising how good these pictures look. I bought a large vintage scrap book full of old cards and ephemera at an antique store. Originally, I thought I would use the cards in projects, but, like you, I can’t bring myself to ruin the scrap book. Hope you can join the live chat next week! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!🎄
Merry Christmas to you and thank you for a year full of great crafting
The table settings were beautiful. I love that you use everyday items that you see around your home that you would never think of using as a table setting. Lol, love it. I am so happy that I found your page this year. It has made my Tuesday mornings. Can't wait to see what you do in the new year. Happy holidays!
Hello Sherry….I’m in Florida visiting my daughter, and son-in-law and of course my beautiful grandchildren ❣️ I am late watching but I never miss an episode! I loved the birdhouse calendar and I can’t wait to make it when I get home ❣️ I’m so excited for your next video and I’m setting my phone alarm so I won’t miss it!!! I would love to know about how you come up with such creative ideas??? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!🎄 I love that Jesus is displayed so beautifully in your video❣️❤️ Thank You for sharing your incredible creativity ❤️❤️❤️🌟
Hello Sherry. Love all your ideas. These are wonderful. My favorite ....I love the sweater around the wine bottle and the table settings. Just wonderful!! Stay safe Sherry
See you Tuesday evening!
Love your videos. So inspirational.!
Just to add my two cents again. I wanted to reiterate that I found your video this morning very inspiring and help me decide what to do with my Christmas table this year. I was feeling stuck and with a few days left it was starting to bother me ha ha. Thank you again
I loved both these segments. As usual, your clever, easy ideas are brilliant. I especially love the last one with a different verse for each family member and the nativity pieces on the table. Jesus IS the reason for the season as many a button and poster has declared 😉😉
Thank you so much for sharing your self and your gifts of style and creativity with us. Looking forward to your LIVE next week!
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🤗🎄
Thank you, Margaret! The Bible verse place settings was my favorite idea this week, too! I’m so excited for the Q & A next week. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family! 🎄

I’ve loved watching your channel explode with subscribers. I’m so happy for you. You have brought us so many wonderful ideas this year. I can’t thank you enough for the joy you have brought to me. I love Tuesdays.❣️❣️❣️
That is so very sweet of you to say, Gloria! 🥰 A year ago I was just thinking about starting a CZcams channel. It has truly been a CRAZY ride! Thank you for being a part of it.
Really beautiful table styling and I love the bottle sacks and map ornaments! So many ideas now!
Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 💕
Thank you, Stephanie! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family in the new year!
Just checking out all of your videos 😍 My daughter and think your Chanel is one of our favorites. 🙏
Thank you once again for so many great ideas. The table settings and central piece ideas inspire me to create my own for our Christmas dinner. 😍
I’m so glad you liked today’s ideas, Heidy! Merry Christmas!
I am so excited about the Q&A video Sheri, I just adore your sweet spirit and brilliant creative mind and I would love to know more about your career life and about your family. I agree with the commenter below, you are a treasure.
Thank you for those kind words. I am so excited to chat with you next week, Charlotte! Merry Christmas!
Hi Sheri, I so enjoy your channel. I'm all about thrifting, creating and making something wonderful from what you already have!!! It's 3:30 am here in California. Can't sleep. This was a real treat! Looking forward to next week. I set my reminder! 😃 Peace, Love, Bren!✌🏼❣️🙋🏻♀️
Good morning, Bren! I don’t know why I chose to start releasing at 5 am CST on Tuesdays. I am surprised at how many people watch it at that time (but you might be the first California resident to watch at that time)! I am so excited for the Q & A next week and the chance to chat with you!
All great ideas. Thank you.
Beautiful and ingenious ideas. The tutorials are easy to follow. Much love. Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family!
Amazing table setting ! God Blessed to you and family.
As usual I loved everything! I especially love all the different place settings. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!
Great video... For your Q&A live chat I'm interested in your pricing strategies for your vintage booth since I have one here in Virginia and struggle with pricing that would cover overhead costs, make a profit and not be out of range for my customer. Also, maybe a little personal inquiries such as your family dynamics and hobbies... Other than the obvious crafting 😊... Any great tried and true recipes
Thank you, Corrine! I just wrote down your suggestions, so I can address them in the Q & A. I’m excited to be able to chat with you next week! Merry Christmas!
@@CanterburyCottage Merry Christmas
OMG, Sherri! Your ideas are so amazing! Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
I love your show I have no ability to see the items like you do I love the place settings they were all beautiful looking forward to the q&a Wishing you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas 🎄
Such wonderful ideas. I made a similar ornament (the one with the map) for my son and daughter-in-law when they got married. Only I used the location where they got married 😁🗺.
BEAUTIFUL ideas
