Craft Paper Table Runner

Craft paper table runners are a versatile and stylish addition to any table setting. Perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm or a modern twist, they are not just for special occasions but also for everyday use. The beauty of craft paper runners lies in their simplicity and adaptability - you can easily customize them with doodles, stamps, or even hand-lettered messages to suit any theme or event. Besides being eco-friendly and economical, they are also a practical choice as they protect your table from spills and scratches. Whether you are hosting a casual brunch or a fancy dinner party, a craft paper table runner is a delightful and easy way to elevate your table decor with a touch of creativity and charm.

Supplies:

A Roll of Kraft Paper 

Paint

Something to make your polka dots with. We used the largest size foam pouncer we could find.

How to make it:

Measure your table and add an extra 3 feet so your table runner can hang over on both sides.

We took our roll of kraft paper and cut it the length we needed. Then we folded it in half long ways and cut right down the center. It ended up being about 15″ wide.

You now have two paper table runners. Save one for later or go ahead and make another one for a future party or holiday.

Now it’s time for the polka dots. Pour some paint onto a paper plate and then dip your foam pouncer and get busy. 

Be sure to practice a few dots on some extra paper just so you can get the feel of it and so you know how much paint you want to use on your pouncer.

Once you are done with all your dots let the paint sit and dry for about 30 minutes.

You can be done at this point or you can cut a cute notch out of both ends of your table runner.

To notch our ends we took an extra piece of the kraft paper (the same width as our runner) and folded it in half. Then just cut UP towards the folded side of the paper at an angle.

Unfold your paper and use it for a pattern to cut the notches out of both ends of your runner.
