UP AND RUNNING
For just a few dollars,
you can treat your fall
table to a new runner.
Cut prewashed burlap
to size and use a
T-pin to separate
and remove threads,
making an inch of
fringe on all sides.
Hot-glue on a border
of wide, flat trim.
All the trimmings
The luxe textures o f brusn fringe and satin ribbon take
hum ble burlap up a notch. To trim a curtain panel as
shown on
page 54,
lay it out flat, w rong side up. Glue
ribbon to the inside edge o f the panel so about half an
inch o f ribbon peeks out, gathering the ribbon as you
glue to make a slight ruffle. Then glue the fla t part o f the
fringe to the ribbon so the fringe extends about an inch
beyond the ribbon. Trims usually can’t be machine-
washed, so it’s best to spot-clean trim m ed curtains.
