Hello friends,
I love grain sack table runners! I was searching ebay, and came across a few that I really would have loved to buy, but they were a little too expensive for my budget. I always have a drop cloth on hand for different projects, and I had more then enough to make a table runner. It's not the real deal, but I think It turned out ok!!
I used barn red acrylic paint for the stripes.
It looks great with a bowl of red apples!!
This is my favorite stencil brush from michaels. 
I just used my painters tape to measure how wide i wanted my stripes.
The runner is 20 inches wide. I made mine 65 inches long.
Have a great night!!!

Happy Weekend!

Your runner turned out beautiful!
This is great! Better than, "The real deal." So clever and I love the idea of using painter's tape. So many possibilities!

It looks great! You can't tell at all that it's not the real deal. Great idea!!
It's gorgeous Kathy, I have to try this for the winter months ahead. Right now I have an ironstone bowl with with green apples in it!
Fantastic idea. I love it!
Very pretty! Your kitchen always looks so warm and inviting. Love the soft red of the apples on the table, cozy and sweet.
Have a lovely weekend,

You have worked your magic again, Kathy! I did something similar a few years ago but it didn't come out as nice. Yay for you...it looks great!

That looks really good.
Very pretty! I love when people make their own decorations.
I think your table runner turned out just perfect. I think I would love to make one too, and the great thing is you can make the stripes any color you want.
Fabulous fake, I just love it:) It looks beautiful on your table with all the white ironstone containers.
I love the grain sack look, too. Yours looks perfect! This may be my next project.
