Ideas for using leftover brocade fabric from a Christmas tablecloth

I wanted a cover to protect my dining table and found a brocade duvet cover in a charity shop which I've cut to a tablecloth size and stitched round. But it looks so beautiful, with a pale gold sheen, that I'm thinking of using it for Christmas dinner. But I have an offcut of about 6' x 2' left over. What can I do with it? Not napkins bc I have nice ones already. Any ideas please? Thx

Do you want it to be related to the dining room/experience in some way, or just any ideas at all?

My first through was making your own napkin rings! You could also do a lampshade? Draft excluder pr bolster pillow?

Table runner for between meals ?

Maybe make some large bows to add to Christmas wreaths or garlands, so your decorations match your table at Christmas.

Yes, I think related to the Christmas meal. Napkin rings of some sort is a great idea!
I was thinking of big bows, but not to go on the tablecloth itself. But where?!

That would actually look nice with our usual white tablecloth.
