My dad’s formal dining room table used to be one of my many craft supply dumping spots. I do not think the original owner—my VERY formal great-grandmother—would have approved. I had to clear it off for my little sister’s baby shower, and I made a new resolve to keep it cleared off and looking perty. However, it always used to have a peach table runner on it that my mom made, so it looked a bit…..empty. I decided to make a lovely fall table runner for it, but I wasn’t able to ever find the time to sew something up. But then one day I was walking through Michael’s when I spotted these felt leaves in a bin and an idea clicked in my brain. HOT GLUE THEM TOGETHER! Yep, that’s right, I used four felt leaves and a bit of hot glue to whip this puppy out. Let’s take a closer look.
The only supplies that you need for this project are felt leaves and a hot glue gun. I got my felt leaves at Michael’s, but I have since seen similar things at several places, including Target.
Simply put a bit of hot glue on each leaf and stick it to the next leaf! Repeat until you are done! It’s one of the cheapest and easiest crafts that I have ever made, and now I can use it for years to come! I’m pretty pumped about it, I’m not gonna lie.

Happy fall!!

Cute Sarah! I could use something simple like that for my table. We only have a kitchen table, so I can’t keep anything too fancy on there, since we are always using it to eat, craft, do homework, etc.!
This would be great then b/c it’s so cheap you won’t be out much time or money if it gets trashed!
Super cute, easy and inexpensive!! Love it!! Pinning!!
I love this idea!
I bought my leaves at the Dollar Store! Whoo-Hoo!
Such a simple and cute idea!
I love this idea! I am heading to Michael’s tomorrow so I may have this on my table tomorrow night. 🙂
Yay!!
Great idea…you might also use plastic snaps…that way you can take apart to store flat.
Ummm…brilliant!
Very simple and that is perfect. Thanks for sharing at #Throwback Thursday. Please join us again and remember this week will focus on Thanksgiving recipes.
What a cute and clever idea. Looks so festive! Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty
Love your quick & easy table runner. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight party. Pinned & shared.
Love the simplicity of your very handsome table runner, it’s just right with Fall colors and texture.
Will be making one of these when I see those leaves, maybe at $tree or wherever I can find them. Think I have some big leaves for Fall somewhere but will buy some more, can always use more, make a runner for our daughter’s home.
Your dining room and furniture are lovely, our daughters table is very similar to yours.
Have lovely Sunday
