   Denim table cover Posted by Jo

Last week, I asked for some help on finishing my table cover for our chili party that we had this past Saturday. I loved everyone’s suggestions and set off for the fabric store with them in mind. When I got there, I selected a nice, dark denim fabric to finish off the sides. Well, once I arrived home and started working on it, the project took a completely different direction! I ended up scrapping the flannel accents completely and going with a simple denim table cover. Then, I used the cut-out jean butt pockets to hold the candy for dessert on the table. The extra candy bars went into some aluminum containers and the centerpiece was the M&M chicken feed dispenser. The table was a huge hit with the kids, as you can imagine. And now, I have a simple denim cover for the table that I can easily use for other events. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I love this, very cute and clever. Love the use of the chicken feeder, can I steel that idea?

    Thanks, Brenda! The chicken feeder idea is something we talked about last year, and you’re more than welcome to use the idea for your own snack dispenser!

    The chick feeders are a little bit hard to find, but we’ve had the best luck on eBay. Try looking here.
