I love having a table runner on my table and I love changing it out depending upon the season.  I have been behind for on finishing this (I missed Memorial Day, oops!) but I was able to put it together this week and I really like how it turned out!  I added the white ruffle not only to give it a little bit extra, but because it would have been way to short without it! I used left over red fabric I had and didn’t want to go buy anymore  I added the blue (can’t really tell that in the picture) stars stamped on with paint to give it some blue and more of a Patriotic feel.

 

 

Best way to make easy stamps?  Potatoes of course! Thankfully I didn’t have to just guess and cut out a star but had a cookie cutter in the perfect star shape that cut through the potato easily.

 

At first I was just going to stamp them and let them be how they were, but for OCD me that was a little too rough.  So once I had the stars down I took my paint brush and individually painted them in.  I think they look much better that way!

Much better!  I love how the table cloth turned out.  I was thinking of writing across the whole thing (long ways), Land of the Free or something similar but I just can’t decide.  What do y’all think?
