This charming table runner features flowers that give it a contemporary touch. The runner is made from durable burlap fabric that’s covered in fun stenciled patterns.
Perfect for Painting. Burlap is a strong and affordable home decor material. Its fibers accept paint easily, and any slight imperfections in your paint job will simply enhance its rustic look.
To get started, place cardboard and wax paper under the burlap. Then pin the fabric to hold it taut. If you want to pre-position the stencil locations, use a chalk pencil to make light marks (inset).
Lightly spray adhesive on the back of the stencil. Let it dry for a couple of minutes, so the bond will be temporary. Then carefully position the stencil over the pattern’s chalk marks (inset). Place the stencil on the burlap, and press it down.
Dab paint on the stencil with a stencil brush. Be sure to apply the paint evenly and fill in all of the openings. After the paint has set up for a few minutes, gently pull up the stencil.
The finished table runner creates a focal point for the entire room. You can let your imagination run free when considering ways to mix burlap accents into a room’s design.
