What You’ll Need

Before getting started, let’s gather the materials:

• Burlap fabric (about 2-3 yards depending on your table size)
• Fusible tape (also known as iron-on adhesive)
• An iron
• Fabric scissors
• Ruler or measuring tape
• Decorative elements like ribbons, lace, or fall leaves (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Autumn Table Runner

1. Measure and Cut the Fabric

Start by measuring your table. A good rule of thumb is to make the table runner about 12-18 inches wide and long enough to drape over the sides by 6-12 inches on each end. Once you have your measurements, cut your burlap fabric accordingly using fabric scissors.

Tip: For a more personalized touch, consider using seasonal fabrics such as orange, deep reds, or rustic brown shades to reflect the autumn theme.

2. Prep the Fabric Edges

Burlap can fray easily, so it’s important to secure the edges. To do this, place the fusible tape along the edges of the fabric. Tuck the raw edges of the fabric inward over the tape to create a clean hem.

Next, press a hot iron on top of the fabric (with the tape underneath) for about 10 seconds on each spot. This will activate the adhesive and secure the hem. Repeat this process for all four sides.

3. Add Fall-Themed Decorations

Now comes the fun part—decorating! You can use ribbon, lace, or even dried autumn leaves to embellish your table runner. Use the fusible tape or hot glue to attach these decorative elements.

For Halloween flair, you could even sprinkle some glitter in copper or gold tones to add sparkle to your DIY autumn table runner!

Tips for Personalizing Your Autumn Table Runner

• Fabric Choices: Burlap adds a rustic, natural feel to your table, but you can also use linen, cotton, or even velvet for a luxurious autumn table runner.

• Play with Length: If you have a longer dining table, feel free to make a cascading table runner. This creates an elegant, dramatic effect perfect for festive gatherings.

• Add Seasonal Touches: Incorporate fall leaves, small pumpkins, or even cinnamon sticks to bring in more of that autumn warmth. A garland of fall leaves down the center of your runner will add an earthy charm to your Halloween party table!

How to Style Your Autumn Table Runner for Halloween

One of the best things about crafting your own table runner is that you can change its look for different occasions. With Halloween coming up, here are some ways to style your no-sew autumn table runner to give it a spooky twist!

To enhance the Halloween vibe, place your runner over a dark or black tablecloth and use black or orange tableware. The contrast between the rustic burlap and modern dark elements will give your table an eye-catching look!

2. Scatter Mini Pumpkins and Candles

Mini pumpkins and tea-light candles will add a cozy glow to your autumn table runner. Use black candles for a Gothic-inspired twist or opt for white or gold pumpkins for an elegant Halloween touch.
