I was able to make this for free because I had all of the supplies on hand, but it would be very inexpensive even if you needed to go out and buy a few things. The design possibilities are endless!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Sewing Machine or needle and thread
  • Paint Brush
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Scissors
  • Stencil Paper
  • Drop Cloth

Steps (4 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut and sew the drop-cloth into the size you want your table runner to be. *Optional: sew the edges. The beauty of using a dropcloth is that no sewing is required, however you can do a quick stitch around the edges with a bright colored thread to make it even more special!

  2. 2

    Draw your design on your stencil paper then cut it out out - I can't draw and I am really messy painter, so I went with as simple of a design as possible. You could also use a pre-made stencil.

  3. 3

    Paint the your design onto your runner any way you like.

  4. 4

    Let the paint dry and enjoy the finished product!
