No Sew Burlap Table Runner

Hello and happy Wednesday! Last week when I shared our Fall Home Tour you may have noticed something new on our table. For the first time ever I have a table runner–I feel so classy! 🙂

I saw several really pretty ones at Homegoods but they were all around $13 and I realized that I already had everything I needed to make one. This is probably the most simple tutorial you’ll ever read!

I had a roll of 18″ burlap that I used for Tristan’s train party that I got at Walmart in the Wedding section for $7. You can also find it at Hobby Lobby (use their 40% any one item coupon!)

I like that the edges are already sealed, making it perfect to use as a table runner.

I cut off the excess on each end to make it the perfect length for my table, but needed something to hide the raw edges and dress it up a little.

I had some scraps from a placemat that I cut up to make a pumpkin pillow (tutorial soon to come!) that worked perfectly for this. I attached the material using hot glue, making sure that the pretty finished side was on the outside.

I didn’t get a picture of the back, but all I did was use hot glue to make a hem before gluing it on to the burlap.

I did the same thing for the edge that wasn’t already hemmed as you can see on the left.

And there you have it–the quickest, most simple tutorial ever! It only took a few minutes and materials I had laying around to create my very first table runner. And of course because it’s burlap, I love it!

You could also use just plain scrap material or even some pretty ribbon on the ends. I think we’re always going to have a table runner now, it just makes the table look so pretty!

I’ll be back next week with a few more things that I made to decorate for fall. Have a great week everyone!

Linking up to these awesome parties!
