Hello bloggin' friends! I wanted to share my burlap ruffled tablecloth with you today. Hilary and I decided that we wanted to have a ruffled tablecloth for the bride's cake table. I started looking for one and was shocked at the price! I could only find them on Etsy and most were priced from $200.00 - $350.00! I decided that I could do this myself and went to work. I purchased an entire bolt of burlap from Hobby Lobby for $48.00 (using my 40 % coupon). Of course, I did not need the entire bolt, but I plan to use it for other projects too. I used about 4 yards for the tablecloth. I already had the white muslin that I used for some of the ruffles. It did take ALOT of time but I think it turned out really nice. Tracy was alot of help with the "math" part of this project. I spent a total of $22.00 to make this 6 foot tablecloth. I think that's pretty good savings! Now.. to figure out what kind of tablecloth to put on the other tables..... I sure am having fun planning this wedding. Just hope I can get it all done in time. Thanks for dropping by.

Beautiful Etsy burlap tablecloth for $320.00. (I understand the price because of the time it takes!)

ReplyDeleteThis is one reason I am so glad I sew! There are so many things that I have wanted over the years and nearly fainted from the price tag.
