Rooftop BBQ diys

Photos & copy by Mandy Pellegrin Our rooftop BBQ relies on clean, natural colors and materials to create a relaxing, inviting, but not overly-fussy backdrop for a fun afternoon with friends. And the best part is that the centerpiece transitions perfectly to your windowsill and the favors will become a reminder to your friends of your awesome entertaining skills for seasons to come. Adorn your table with starter herb and vegetable plants featuring ingredients used in your dishes. We featured peppers, dill, and mint – all ingredients in our tasty menu items. Let your guests bring the theme home with personalized seed packets of the same varieties. Create all the personalized pieces with a simple set of letter stamps. For the favor placeholders, stamp plain muslin bags, kraft paper gift tags, and wooden shapes. Stamp a few more wooden shapes for the centerpiece plant markers. 1. If they don’t already have one, drill a small hole in the bottom of each of the plant marker shapes, and attach a wooden dowel with a dab of glue. 2. Slip a seed packet into each of the muslin bags 3. Thread a kraft paper gift tag and personalized placeholder shape (drill a hole, if necessary) onto the drawstring of a muslin bag and tie the ends to hold in place.
