I don’t think I will ever get sick of the combination of burlap & lace. It creates a very rustic chic look that I’m in love with. This tutorial requires very little skill level and just a few supplies; this is my kind of DIY. Who’s with me? This craft will only take you about 40 minutes to complete and afterwards you will have a stunning table runner. Plus, this is something you can roll up and re-use whenever the occasion fits.
Unroll your White Burlap Roll. Make any necessary cuts in your burlap to fit your table. Unroll the White Lace Ribbon- 6″ and place it down the center of your White Burlap Roll. If you are type A person like I am, then you might want to measure it. If not, you can probably get away with eyeballing it.
Using the Crystal Floral Pins or sewing pins, pin the lace in place. I thought this would help keep it from slipping and make gluing it in place a lot easier. Once you have this pinned down, lift up the sides and using a Surebonder® Low Temperature Mini Glue Gun and a few Surebonder® Cool Shot™Low Temperature Mini Glue Sticks, simply remove each Crystal Floral Pin as you go down the edges of the runner and glue the lace in place. Repeat this process until you have both sides glued down.
Following the same process in Steps 2 & 3, take the White Lace Ribbon and unroll it onto the White Burlap. I placed mine 1″ from each side. Using your Crystal Floral Pins, pin this in place on both sides. Once you have this pinned in place, simply remove one Crystal Floral Pin at a time and glue the ribbon in place.
Sit back and enjoy this beautiful runner. I love how simple it is yet looks surprisingly chic and elegant at the same time.
