We created this simple, tribal-inspired table runner for Emma's home. With a technique similar to our Heart Blanket DIY, see what different pieces you can create by choosing different colors and shapes! Enjoy…
1.Supplies: Table runner, paint, paintbrush, cardboard, cork, scissors and glue. 2. Begin by cutting out a shape with the cardboard. To create a design similar to ours, one side of your stamp should be a straight line (to be placed against the edge of the table runner). This will be your stamp! 3. Next glue the cardboard onto a cork, creating a handle to make the stamping easy. Allow it to dry completely. 4. Begin stamping all along the edge of the runner, filling in any splotchy parts with a paintbrush. Allow to dry completely before displaying your new table runner (check your paint bottle for dry times).
This project is super easy and can be completed in an afternoon! We'll be back soon with a few snap shoots from Hawaii…. XO. Elsie

Hi,
I have a quick question about your blog, do you think you could email me?
David
I have several things currently sequestered in the linen closet that can use both this & the heart treatment!

I love that you made a stamp to make the process faster and easier. I love this idea! It combines rustic country and modern styles together, which I adore.
So unbelievably creative! How do you come up with all these things? And how do you fit/keep them in your home?!
Beautiful runner and it looks fantastic!

It looks great, I will try it myself.
Your blog is so great and inspirative.
This is such brilliant idea! What fabric is your table runner made of, it looks like it has such a lovely, thick texture!

What an awesome runner! I’m obsessed with our table, it’s the center of the house for meals, gatherings, crafts…and I’m always looking for a new way to dress it up;) Great post!
That is AWESOME! I need to make more of an earthly statement in my home, I think…
Besos,

this is soo earthy and cute!
great idea to make a stamp for that! seems like a much easier solution than trying to tape or something.
I love this! All your projects are so fun and creative, yet simple. I am definitely planning on making my own table runner and saving the $45 a retailer would charge. Up next also, I would love to try your chalkboard paint project ideas.
That is way cute, ddef going to try this!
I’ve been looking for a good table runner! Thanks!
I’m in love! I must make this for my next dinner party! I wish I was creative enough to do DIY posts, but as of now I mostly do outfit posts. Just did one on a rad vintage dress!
