DIY Striped Dropcloth Table Runner | with Krista from The Happy Housie

2 Shares

Hi everyone!!

It is Krista from The Happy Housie back again and I am so excited to be here today

sharing this super easy (and thrifty!) DIY Dropcloth Table runner with you!

For this project you will need:

I started out with a plain ol’ dropcloth that I picked up at my local hardware store.

I think I paid about $15 for a 4 foot by 12 foot piece.

That translates to around $4 a yard, give or take.

I cut one long strip 18″ wide and 84″ long (because my table is 72″ long

and I wanted an overhang on each end). I let the edges fray naturally because

I don’t plan to wash this, but you could definitely sew the edges or use some

no-sew hemming tape to secure them first.

I used Frog Tape to tape out my lines, spacing them evenly by using a spacer piece

that I moved as I taped my way down the length of the runner.

Then I sprayed away with my flat black spray paint and let it dry about an hour… Done!!

The perfect addition to our Halloween table, though I think it will transition nicely

into regular ol’ Fall come November.

I have a few other Halloween and Fall Projects I would love to share with you-

hop over and visit me at The Happy Housie to see what I have been up to lately…

like how I made these hand sketched oil sharpie pumpkins:

And if you want to know what the next Fall or Halloween project might be…

Thanks Tanya for having me here today!

It is always so much fun to connect with you readers of twelveOeight!

Thanks for reading!

And remember my housie friends, HOME isn’t built in a day. Enjoy the journey.
