How to Make Your Own Table Runner

February 8, 2013 by Aimee ?

The awesome features from the party this week will be open in just a bit, but first?I recently showed you my Love You More, Table for Two and many of my sweet friends have since asked if I bought or made the tablecloth!? This was a super fun and easy DIY by yours truly and could easily be made by you, too!? I knew I wanted to add a runner spelling love in many languages to my table.? My handwriting on PicMonkey is awesome?.on paper, not always great.? I grabbed a piece of paper and did a little doodling for practice.

With a few fun options under my belt?script, caps, lower case, hearts?etc.? I went for it.? I started at the top left corner and went row by row, keeping a damp paper towel near so I could erase the letters that weren?t quite right.? I loved seeing my vision come together.

For my tablescape, I pulled over one of my end tables and covered it with a white tablecloth.??The ?love you more? canvas was a fun Home Good find.? It?s usually in Little B?s room.

I know lots of you are sick of chalkboard this and that?it may be a little overdone, but I don?t use actual ?chalk? there?s not a bit of dust to worry about!? ?I think I?ll always have a thing for black and white ?it totally make the pink pop!? Speaking of pink?the cute bird pillow on the bench between my chevron pillows, I won it in a giveaway ? from Love of Family & Home!
