Voila, an inexpensive and super festive table runner was born!
Supplies needed:
Colorful tissue paper
Scissors (I used fringing scissors, but not necessary)
Aleene's Tacky Glue
3-5 sheets of 8.5in x 11in heavy duty paper
First, create the base of the runner by glueing the paper sheets together.
I used four sheets of paper to create my base. Easy so far, huh?
Next, I selected my first tissue paper layer color and cut five strips (roughly 4in x 20in) out of one sheet.
Glue down the strips to the outer edge of the table runner base, creating a border.
Here is my first layer. One layer took a little more than one sheet of tissue paper.
Using a pair of scissors, fringe.
Repeat process with new color.
Looking good.
Continue adding layers.
For the center strip, I folded two separate pieces of tissue paper over four times and then fringed the outer edges. Glue down.
I love how it turned out!
I'm really looking forward to the party. More taco night/party prep projects will be posted soon, including those cactus themed projects I talked about in the last post!
