Outdoor Party Decor

I was sent out a frugal heroes challenge along with several other bloggers across Canada..  What is that, you ask? To take $100 to spend at Walmart and see how far you can stretch it.  I wanted to decorate an outdoor space, but I don’t have a lot of patio furniture (sorry, $100 can’t get me a patio set.  Dang it).

So I thought it would be fun to show an easy an inexpensive outdoor dining tablescape.  Most of the things you could already have on hand, so it would cost even less and everything can be reused.

I got a bit crafty and decided to cut a paper lunch bag, stamp it with my initial, and use it to hold my cutlery, napkin, and straws.  I have also seen a cute idea with salt and pepper packets stapled to the front as well!

Now, to take it up a notch, you could move the table to a much more exciting location.  I happen to have a community lake, and was so excited to eat out on the dock.  All I used was a card table and 4 metal folding chairs.  They are light and easy to move, and its more about the scenery than it is about the furniture, don’t you think?
