Even so, I am glad to have had this vision and to now have it on our table. You know what the best part is about this little DIY? You don't have to sew anything...which is good because I don't own a sewing machine. All my crafts come back to my trusty glue gun. (How I love it!)
Step 1: Cut long strips of fabric and lay them out on the floor
Step 2: "Ruffle" them...which is really more like folding, but you get the idea
Step 3: Hot glue, sew, or somehow attach each layer together
Step 4: Continue until your runner is long enough for your table
Step 5: Enjoy your pretty "ruffled" table runner on your table
And yes, I just noticed that I am missing a fork at one place setting. Don't worry, it's not that I don't have another one. I probably used it the other night or something...or did he run away and elope with the spoon? Did he dislike the knife? Maybe the knife's witt was too sharp?
Ok, ok. I'll stop.
Now I just have to decide what kind of centerpiece looks best with it!
I love how it looks on top of the burlap.
Well, that's all folks! I'm sure I will have more ideas coming soon.

Love this look. What a nifty idea. You should patent it! I like the second one too with the daisies. Very country chic....
This is SO BEAUTIFUL. You are so creative! I think I'm going to need to make this when I actually have a dining table. Which I totally don't yet. But you're making me want to buy a dining table, just so I can make this.
