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.

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!

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
