A $15 table runner using thrift store fabric finds & 50% off Hobby Lobby ribbon:
A charcoal grey background makes the ribbon colors pop, & the variety of sparkle, ric-rac, ribbon combos create interest. Supplies:
- fabric for 13 1/2″ wide x 6 1/2 foot long finished runner
- eleven different, coordinating ribbons
- 1/2″ wide iron-on adhesive
- pins
The fabric was pieced together to make the length. Seams were hidden by ribbon on the top surface.
- cut ribbon into 15 1/2″ strips & figure out placement
- use iron-on adhesive to secure placement, top-stitch
- once the top & back are finished, sew right sides together on both long sides & one end
- turn right side out, tuck ends inside & top-stitch all around
The best part, besides the completed project, is picking out the ribbon! Have fun!
“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, & anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.” ~ Ray Bradbury
