Curtain-Turned-Table Runner


Some very special friends, Charles & Kristen (and kiddos) were coming over for an evening meal. I knew in my mind I wanted 4 table runners to go across the width of the table as opposed to just one running down the length of it. Did I say that the right way? (Been seeing this in blog world.) But trying to find a plain red one was not happening. Plus, one table runner is $14 or more - you do the math...So....
I was walking down the curtain aisle (for another reason) and (lightbulb in mind) - it hit me. I was able to make 2 runners out of one panel....total cost $16! Score!
Used no-sew hemming tape (my sewing machine is broken) and managed to run out (imagine that!) Finished with Fabric-Tac....Finished project....
My 4 for $4 green chargers from Target...
My Pottery Barn clearance candle holder...
Wood, candles, fake snow, ornaments...
Recognize my 'homemade' candles from some of my Thanksgiving decor?

Come back soon to see what else I made with leftover curtains!!!!
