HAND-PRINTED TABLE RUNNER

YOU WILL NEED

  • Plain fabric table runner
  • Paintbrush
  • Green fabric paints
  • Large leaf stamps
  • Pink pom-pom trim
  • Needle and thread

1 Protect your working surface with newspaper, then lay a plain fabric table runner flat on top. Use a paintbrush to apply green paint to a large leaf stamp, then press it down firmly onto the fabric. Continue stamping along the length of the runner, spacing the prints out evenly.

2 Repeat the process, making use of a second leaf stamp and different shades of green paint. Try mixing the paints to create more shades of green and continue to stamp, allowing the designs to overlap in places. Step back to look at your work then fill in gaps between the leaves with stamps until the surface of the runner is covered.
