KNOCK ON WOOD

A roll of faux-wood shelf liner and a set of super-cheap

plastic place mats join forces to anchor this place

setting,

above.

Trace the place mat outline on the back

of the adhesive shelf liner, cut out, and adhere. Tie

rolled napkins with leather cord and add a souvenir

charm or pennant to finish the look.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

Turn a postcard or snapshot into a sophisticated time

capsule,

left.

Pop the card into a jar, add a few natural

elements collected on the trip, and tie a length of

leather cord around the jar’s neck.
