Here are the steps to create a DIY Christmas table runner:
Materials:
- Fabric (choose a holiday-themed print or solid color)
- Fabric scissors
- Iron
- Sewing machine
- Thread
Instructions:
- Measure the length and width of your table to determine how much fabric you will need. Add an extra inch to the width for seam allowances.
- Cut the fabric to the desired length and width.
- Iron the fabric to smooth out any wrinkles or creases.
- Fold each edge of the fabric over 1/4 inch and iron to create a crease. Then, fold each edge over another 1/4 inch and iron again to create a hem. Pin the hems in place.
- Sew along the edge of each hem using a sewing machine and coordinating thread. Remove the pins as you sew.
- Once all of the hems are sewn, iron the table runner one last time to remove any remaining wrinkles.
Optional: Add some festive touches to your table runner, such as using fabric paint to stencil on holiday designs or attaching ribbons or bows.
Your DIY Christmas table runner is now ready to add a festive touch to your holiday decor!
