Dress The Christmas Table – with Tesco decs?
Following hot on the heels of our Christmas Living Room decorating challenge, Tesco had a second idea; how about we Dress the Christmas Table too? Same rules as before – we had to use Tesco Christmas decorations only, and make a room that was simply magical.Only this time, we weren’t feeling so hesitant about how magical we could make a room look with just a tiny budget and some supermarket accessories.

You need to understand this too). I just couldn’t get my head around how something so stereotypically… boring (a game of darts) could be turned into a modern, quirky and exciting game. When I...
