Happy Valentine's Day, lovers!! As promised, I spent the weekend (one weekend late, I know) crafting up some fun Valentine's Day projects. I found this table runner at Pottery Barn, and thought it was super cute and totally something I could make. More often than not, I look at something in a store and say "Oh My God I love this. I could totally make it."
I went to JoAnn Fabric's and grabbed my supplies:
1.5 yards of burlap
1/3 yard Valentine's Day fabric
1 roll of stitch witchery (1/2 inch wide)
scissors (obviously I had these at home...)
Ready to start!
I started out by "hemming" the sides of the burlap. I'm not so OCD about straight lines, but if you are, you may want to pin along the sides to ensure a straight line. I winged it and it turned out just fine! I love stitch witchery...it is SO easy to hem a piece of fabric without setting up the sewing machine! Once I finished the burlap, I cut out the themed fabric. I opted for the following designs:
Once the cut outs were done, I started adding them to the burlap. I used the stitch witchery for this as well, as the width of the tape was the same as the letters. For the hearts, I did as best as I could to get the tape as close to the edges.
LOVE on one end...
Hearts in the middle...
Finished product! Place-mats are from Kohl's, last year.
Head of the table, where Hubs sits!
Insert flowers from your Hubby in the middle :)
Enjoy!
