Here at The 530 Bride we love to see couples express their style and personality while enjoying their wedding experience. We are fans of the ladies over at The Idea Emporium for encouraging their clients to step outside the box and get creative. We are happy to share this creative and inexpensive DIY Table Runner project demonstrated by Carey at The Idea Emporium!
Materials Needed 14 yards of white muslin fabric Scissors Fabric Dye 1 large bucket Boiling water (per dye instructions)
Step 1: Rip fabric to desired width by cutting a starter mark, and then proceed to rip the fabric into two equal sections
Step 2: Following the instructions included with the dye packet, bring water to a boil. Meanwhile, begin fraying the edges of the fabric.
Step 3: Once you have frayed all of the edges, fold the fabric in half lengthwise and then proceed to roll it towards you
Step 4: Mix the water and the dye packet in a large bucket, and dip the fabric into the dye with the frayed edges down. You can dip the fabric in to the dye at the desired depth, and as many times as needed to give the intended color. *For an ombre effect you can use multiple buckets with varying shades of the dye*
Step 5: Unroll the fabric and layout to dry on a flat surface
We love this color combo of white and blue, but the choice is yours so feel free to get creative. This project is not only fun, but it can really save you money! Here is our breakdown of expenses:
14 yards of Muslin fabric @ 3.99 per yard* 2 boxes of dye @ $2.29 per box
*The amount of fabric you need will depend on what size table you are using and the length you would like the fabric to extend past the edge of the table.
