In case you missed my post yesterday, I shared my DIY Thrifty Thanksgiving Table.
In my opinion, the DIY spotted tablecloth stole the show!
As promised, today I am going to share the tutorial with you.
It's not much of a tutorial because it is SO easy, but this is what I did:
Supplies:
+ White Fabric (I purchased mine from Home Fabrics for $3.99/yard and needed 1.5 yards)
+ Black Paint (I probably should have used fabric paint, but I had black acrylic paint on hand and it worked great. So far it has held up to ironing, although I haven't washed it yet. I'll let you know how that goes after the Holidays).
Tutorial:
1. Cover your table in plastic (I used big black garbage bags). When you apply the paint onto the fabric, it will bleed through the back (unless you use a really thick fabric), so it's a good idea to protect the table with plastic.
2. Place your fabric on the table.
3. I cut 3 red potatoes in half to create stamps. One large, one medium, and one small. I like how the potatoes are not perfectly round, a look I wanted to achieve. I then dipped the potato in the black paint and stamped it on the tablecloth.
I didn't follow any pattern, just randomly stamped all over.
4. I then took the end of my paintbrush, dipped it in the paint, and stamped on the smallest dots.
I also used the back of the paintbrush to fix any mistakes I made with the potato stamps.
5. I then let it dry and then continued the steps on the remainder of the tablecloth.
See, told you it was easy!
