Crafts editor Blake Ramsey came up with the idea of sewing together tea towels to make table runners -- and instantly transformed this patio table. It is an easy way to add color and pattern to your table and is a casual alternative to a full tablecloth. Here, we were inspired by graphic Scandinavian prints, both new and old. But if you mine your own trove of tea towels, chances are you'll come up with some great combinations, too.

I love the idea of using tea towels as a table runner! To occupy kids at the table, printing out a few coloring pages that match the tea towels along with crayons would be a good idea!
OMG! That made the table looking so stunning. We used to do such things in our childhood, like decorating the table with with different table mats. Tea towel decoration of table is new to me, anyway it looks really nice.Review Support Omni Tech
