Diying cheesecloth table runner...

Pang, on December 15, 2019 at 10:41 AM Posted in Style and Décor 1 4

Hi guys. I'm on a budget and trying to weight my options on which element of my table decor is most friendly to my budget. My original idea was to use chiffon table runners but I keep bouncing back between those and cheesecloth runners. After some quick research they cost just about the same depending on quality.

I thought about dyeing my own cheesecloth to the color of my choice. It looks pretty simple once you get the right color formulation to your liking. Overall, is $150 give or take, too much money to spend on table runners?

My venue will be providing the table cloth and could order me some cheap polyester table runner to match my colors if I choose.

    A little much, but if your going for a certain look go for it. Keep in mind your centerpieces...how much will you spend there, what's the design, how many needed? For me it depends on the centerpieces costs included because I couldn't spend that much on just runners and then the other stuff too.

    How many do you need? I found really inexpensive ones searching Etsy.

    I'll need about 12-15 runners depending if I seat 8 or 10 people to a table ...each about 10ft long.


    As for centerpieces... I thought about just laying some loose eucalyptus with some dainty flowers or w.e loose blooms we have left from the bouquets. My venue doesn't allow open flames so I saw some led candles, set of 7 at Sams for $19. I also want to use unlit taper candles, but I can't seem to find taper candle holders at an affordable price.

    Have you checked the dollar store? During christmas they always have rolls of lace I guess for wrapping but theyre actually the perfect size for table runners. I bought some for my engagement party a year ago and they turned out so beautiful. Have a look around at your local dollar stores, you might be surprised.
