VagabondGurl's DIY Ruffled Burlap Table Runners.

Here is a more detailed description of how to create your own Ruffled Table Runner than in my previous post with the Geometric Runners.

Please keep in mind this is based on an 8ft x 3ft table.

*Cut material to measure 20in x 10ft2in.
*Hem each long side in 1in, so width now equals 18in.
*Fold over ends 1in, pin, but do not sew yet.
*Cut 2 pieces for ruffle 6in x 40in each.
*Sew 1in hems on both short ends and one long end of ruffle pieces.
*Pin several pleats along unhemmed edge of ruffle pieces, until piece is 17in wide.
*Sew along pinned edge.
*Remove pins. Pleats will "let out" a bit and the pleated piece will then be about 18in long.
*Pin ruffle with 1in overlap onto end of runner pieces that were previously pinned.
*Sew ruffle to end of runner - one on each end.

The material was purchased online through Northwest Upholstery for $1.20/yd for 30 yards. Total cost for one runner is under $4. (Note also, that the fabric is 40in wide, so two runners can be made from one width.)

Yes, that's correct; it is the 10oz burlap.  It isn't thick burlap.  I will be using white tablecloths under the runners and I imagine some of the white will peep through.  It was exactly what I needed for the project, though.  The cost was great, too!

 nice :)

These turned out really cute, who knew burlap could look so chic!?

fabulous! I've featured this on my website!

absolutely adorable! great job!
