Supplies Needed To Make Monogram Table Runner
- Burlap Runner
- Black Fabric Paint
- Paint Brush
- Cricut Machine
- Vinyl (any color will work)
- Craft Knife
- White Fabric (any will work)
- Sewing Machine
Step 1: Cut Monogram Design From Vinyl
Choose your monogram font style. Cut out your monogram from the vinyl using a Cricut machine or craft knife. I cut mine where it was as close to 12 inches wide as I could get it.
On the Cricut, you will need an extra long 12 x 24 mat to accomplish this.
Step 2: Weed Monogram Design & Apply To Burlap
Remove the inside of your letter from the vinyl and apply the entire stencil to your burlap. Be sure the work surface under the burlap is protected as the paint will seep through.
Step 3: Stipple Paint Onto Burlap
Use black fabric paint and dab onto your monogram with an up-and-down motion. Make sure you do not get any paint outside of your stencil area.
Paint around the entire monogram letter, until it’s completely covered.
Step 4: Remove Vinyl From Burlap
While the paint is still wet, carefully remove your vinyl from the burlap. Take caution with the wet paint.
Step 5: Add Ruffle To Burlap
Allow to dry then add a white ruffle on both sides with your sewing machine. I ripped strips of a canvas drop cloth to about 5 inches then sewed them while gathering slightly for a ruffled effect.
Add this fun DIY burlap table runner to any table in your home. You will love the monogram and ruffles with the rustic feel of the burlap!
Making this DIY burlap table runner really is super easy! Add that farmhouse feel to your home with this fun craft project.
