This no sew table runner is soo easy to make you could make one in every color! Not that you need one in every color, but you'll see what I mean. Because this is made using placemats from Dollar Tree, you could change this out seasonally by using different colors or patterns. Or, you could easily add details with ribbon or other embellishments. The best part? It only costs $3!
Here is how mine came out...
Here is how mine came out...
To make this no sew runner, all you need are placemats and hot glue. And any embellishments you want to add.
Before starting I measured the length of my table. I used three placemats.
To put the runner together:
- fold over the seam on the end of one placemat
- glue the seam onto another mat while overlapping by about 1 1/2 inches
- turn over and glue the over hang
- seal the gaps created by the overlap
Repeat these steps to add the third placemat. The folded seams will be on top, creating a tiered look.
You could stop here and have a nice simple table runner. But, I had to take it a step further to match my color scheme.
I added tassels using twine:
- cut a bunch of strips of twine about 2 inches long
- wrap the twine around hand (or any flat object the desired length of your tassel
- using one the strips, tie on to one end and create a knot
- cut the other end open to create strands
- using another small strip, tie around the strands about 1/2 inch below the top knot to create a loop
I attached the tassels using hot glue.
And here is the final result.
This was my first time making tassels, and I'm loving them! What do you think? Until next time, thanks and God Bless!
