Layers of vintage lace make this one-of-a kind runner perfect on your dining or console table. It goes with any decor and looks fabulous layered over other runners or tablecloths!
I recently bought a bag of vintage lace pieces on a boutique deal. I have since discovered that Amazon carries the same thing for a great price and free shipping. You can get an assortment of cream or white lace, or if you like to mix it up, some of both!
This is also a super way for crafters to use up old lace scraps that, if you are like me, you never throw away!
To make your own Vintage Lace Table Runner, you will need:
- 12 yards Vintage Lace, varied styles
- Cutting Mat, Ruler, and Rotary Cutter
- Sewing pins
- Sewing machine
Instructions:
1. Determine how wide you want your table runner, and add an inch. Cut your lace pieces to this length using the ruler and mat to make straight cuts. I wanted a 12 inch runner, so I made my lace 13 inches.
2. Pin lace layers together in about 2 foot sections, overlapping just enough to sew (about 1/4 inch). Use plenty of pins! Lace can be slippery!
4. Iron the runner if needed, then use the ruler and mat to carefully square up the entire runner. Take your time so you get it right!
And you are done! I hope you love your new runner as much as I love mine!
