    I don't generally decorate the house for Valentine's day or St. Patrick's day, but I do enjoy decorating for Easter! Fresh flowers, bunnies, Easter egg decor, I love it all.  The pretty pastel colors really brighten the home. I love the selection of home decor fabrics that Walmart carries. Our local Walmart has an entire wall full of them for under $5 a yard. A great price for a quick and easy spring update. How pretty would a pair of pillows be in springtime colors (tutorial here)? Or placemats (tutorial here)?

    I picked up a yard and a half and made a quick and easy DIY table runner to go across the table. Even after adding a scalloped edge it still was still a 15 minute project!

    Supplies:

    1 ½ yards fabric

    measuring tape

    scissors

    scrap paper

    pins

    sewing machine

    iron

    Cut two pieces of fabric 18" wide and whatever length you want. I wanted mine to cover about ¾ of my table length so I cut my fabric 50" long.

    Cut a piece of scrap paper to the width (18") and draw a quick scallop template with a salad plate or cereal bowl. Then cut out and pin to the edge of your two fabric pieces.

    Pin your two pieces of fabric, right sides together. Leave a 4" opening for turning right-side out after sewing.

    Sew all the way around with a ¼" seam allowance. Clip curves and turn right-side out. Iron seams and top stitch around entire table runner, catching the opening in the seam as you sew.

    I love the added detail that the scallop adds on the table runner, and it only took a couple extra minutes! The perfect addition to the table for Easter dinner...or dessert!

      This for sharing how easy it is to make a table runner. I have a ton of fabric and I really need to use it up. This would be a great project and give me something nice to put on our table. Thanks for sharing again on MM. Will in a feature roundup.
