Creations, Jazzing up a Table Runner

the Painted Apron

11 years ago

Beach themes and burlap are the furthest things from everyone’s mind as we are all waiting for crisp fall air

So pretend that starfish is a pumpkin, okay?

This is a quick way to change up a table runner and give it more width and a little accent…

Wide contrasting burlap ribbon and a few dots of glue…

My kitchen island has an elevated eating bar at the end

I used this widened runner to tie the 2 surfaces together for unity

I didn’t have quite enough ribbon to go the full length so I left each end like this for interest

Scattered shells on netting line the center, handy for covering up the wrinkles that wouldn’t iron out 😳

Fabric pumpkins spill over the elevated surface

To form the focal point for this buffet tablescape

There’s a coordinating centerpiece on the adjacent table

For storage, I loosely rolled the runner to keep it fresh for next time

Party’s over!

I will be posting this buffet full of food and recipes next time, along with some great do ahead food tips you might find handy for the holidays~

Thanks for dropping by~
