Below are steps to making your very own table runners at home:

1.      Start by measuring the table you want to place the runner on top, after measuring cut a white fabric of choice according to the measurements, and leave an inch on the sides for hemming at a later time.

2.       The next step is mixing dyes with warm water and salt or follows the manufacturer's instructions that come with the powder dye. Mix 500ml of water for each dye, and pour the mixtures into separate plastic bottles. Create a hole on it’s nuzzle tip for the dye to pour out of.

3.      Make sure the runner fabric is well washed and is not completely dry. The fabric needs to be damp still for it to absorb the color from the dye.

4.      If you want to dye a spiral design on the table runner then after placing it on a flat surface, pinch the center of the runner and start turning it around. Keep turning and gathering the fabric around until it forms a tight round ball. Lastly, tie the gathered fabric with a thread.

5.      You can now place the fabric in a large bowl so the color doesn’t create a mess or splash anywhere else. Better yet take the items outside. Now start spraying the different colors of your choice on different areas of the gathered fabric. Make sure to keep the colors dark so the final look turns out bright and lively.

After you splash dye on the fabric, let the dye soak in the fabric. Afterward, rinse the fabric with cold water and then wash the fabric to remove any access dye or any chemical from the fabric. After you dry it in the open, it's ready for use.

6.      When the dining table runner dries up you can now attach any beads and tassels to it. Keep from attaching the extra accessories at the end that will be hanging off the tableside. If you place the beading in the center it will disturb the balance of anything you will place on top of the runner. Attach tassels at the end for that chic touch.
