Be My DIY Valentine? A Romantic Table Setting on the Cheap

I knew I would need more items, so my next step was to search though my own plates and dishes to see what I could use to complement what I had purchased. The gold and silver plates I bought right after Christmas during a big clearance sale—they were 25¢ each—would do the trick. I decided to use wine glasses as water glasses and added a few accents to the champagne glass from my existing crafting supplies to use it for this project. I also already owned the silver platter, clear glass bottle, bowl, small white plate, serving utensils and candle holders (these last ones were bought at a thrift store for a Halloween display). I needed to add color and more dimension to my table, so I headed to the dollar store. There I purchased the rest of the items that including doilies, ribbon, and a vase.
