How to Stencil A Table Runner

See how I made this stencil table runner using a simple table runner and stencil. Using a stencil and your favorite table runner, you can make this quick and easy project that is completely customizable.

Yesterday I showed you how to spray paint light fixtures, and gave you a teaser with a picture that included my new table runner.

This simple no-sew table runner can be done with minimal materials and without taking up a lot of time.

You can purchase a stencil or make a stencil using a Cricut machine.

Time for all of the details! Let’s get busy and learn how to stencil a table runner.

Supplies Needed to Make A Stencil Table Runner:

• Table runner
• Stencils
• Acrylic paint
• Jute webbing
• Stencil brush

How to Make A Stencil Table Runner

The stencil was super easy to use. Follow these tips to make your own!

Step 1

I picked which pattern I wanted. The great thing about this pack of stencils is you get a ton of variety all for one price.

Step 2

Then, I laid the stencil on my runner and with a very dry stencil brush and applied white paint.

Step 3

After removing the stencil, you can see my awesome pattern. I then overlaid the stencil onto the last row so that I lined up my pattern for the next set. This pattern reminds me of a quilt, which is why I chose it.

Step 4

I went all the way down both sides of the runner. This maybe took my 30 minutes.

It was super simple and the stencil was a breeze to use. I did not use any stencil adhesive. Just make sure your brush is VERY dry every time by getting rid of any excess.

I also “pounced” my brush straight down.

Step 5

After my stencil was dry, I added my jute webbing right down the center. I actually sewed down the center but I think you could totally glue this using some fabric glue.

I then showed it off yesterday with my freshly painted light fixture.

My eat-in kitchen area is looking great!
