A table runner is a great project to make at home or at a dinner party.You can make a cute decoration by sewing on a pom-pom fringe.It is possible to do traditional fringes without sewing.Make sure you choose the right material for your table runner.Do you want to decorate your runner or not?
Step 1: The first thing to do is to start with utility burlap.
Other types of burlap are more expensive.You can make a table runner out of utility burlap even if you don't want it to be the exact color you want.If you want, you can decorate your burlap.Paint and a sponge brush can be used to decorate.If you're making a fringe table runner, you should use this.You can dip a sponge brush in paint at any craft store.The brush can be used to add designs like circles, stars, and hearts.Pumpkin shapes can be used for Thanksgiving.
Step 2: The length of your fabric is important.
Determine what length of fabric you want for your table runner if you're not using burlap.The length of your table will affect this.The runner should be slightly longer than the table.Runners are usually thin strips of fabric.To make sure you cut it straight, you should use a measuring stick.You should cut a little more fabric than you plan to use.
Step 3: Attach a seam ripper to the edge of the fabric.
To fringe the edges of the table, use a seam ripper.There are 2 to 4 threads on each side of the runner.Pull out more threads if you want longer fringes.Use your fingers to pull the threads away from the fabric after you loosened them with the seam ripper.As you pull the threads will break.You will have to work your way down the thread, using a seam ripper to remove the threads and then pulling them out with your fingers.
Step 4: The edges should be even length.
Take a pair of scissors.You should trim the fringes on your runner.If they're on the shorter side, trim them slightly until all the fringes are even length.
Step 5: Take a measurement of your pom-pom trim.
Measure the length of the table runner.Cut two strips of your pom-pom trim that are the same length as your runner.
Step 6: Before using the fringe, you need to decide on the color scheme you want.
When choosing supplies, think about the color scheme.You should pick colors that complement each other and the color scheme of your kitchen.Cut four strips of pom-pom trim if you want to add two layers to each side.
Step 7: The runner has a pom-pom trim on it.
There are strips of pom- pom trim on each side of the runner.Place the pins in the place of the trim.Make sure to smooth out the trim before pinning it down.You don't want to cause any problems on the runner.
Step 8: Place the trim in place.
You want to run a stitch.The thread has to be woven back and forth through the fabric.Keep the pom-pom trim in place by sewing the full length of the runner.To hold it in place, tie a knot at the end of the thread.
