DIY Rickrack Striped Table Runner

*This post is sponsored by Oriental Trading

I have to be honest…I never thought I’d find myself working with rickrack trim in my craft studio, but that’s what I love so much about working for Oriental Trading—the brand challenges me to pick up tools and materials that maybe I wouldn’t have considered before, and I always end up having a blast in the process.

Case in point, rickrack trim. I think I’ve always automatically considered this fabric material a bit more appropriate for kids, but then my fellow “Supply of the Month” bloggers and I were each tasked with producing a grownup craft using the trim. Well, several weeks of experimenting later, and my tutorial for a DIY Rickrack Striped Table Runner is live and (I think!) proves that this medium can be made to look sophisticated and fun.

As a gal always on the hunt for the most budget-friendly options available when it comes to any kind of shopping or decorating, I especially love how inexpensive this project turned out to be, too. A little trim goes a long way when remaking this striped rickrack pattern, so you can rest assured that your table runner won’t bust your decorating budget.
