Show off family photos while you entertain guests by making photo napkin rings. Cut photos into small squares and glue them onto scrapbook paper. Leave a ¼-inch border of paper around the edge of each photo. Cut paper strips and fold the paper into fourths to create a square ring. Insert the napkin into the ring and tape the ends of the ring together so it will stay in place. Tape the photo to the ring.

Put unused drink glasses to use as candle holders. Choose an elegant wine glass, for instance, and place a clear votive candle holder inside of it. Pour gel wax, found in craft stores, into the glass around the outside of the votive holder. Place a separate candle inside the votive holder so that you aren’t actually burning the gel wax. Dye the gel wax to give the candle holder a more personalized look.
