#1 Fancy a new table runner?

Imagine this: you replaced your old fancy curtains with new ones, but you still have some wonderful curtains on your hands and it would be a shame to throw them away. If you can’t find another use for them, you should definitely get a bit crafty and make some table runners out of them. Not only will they look stunning, but it isn’t as hard as it first seems to make them.

It’s a fun afternoon project, and even if you’re not usually using table runners, they’re a good decoration to have on hand for more festive occasions or just to use as decorations around the house!
