jute table runner

Jute webbing is commonly used by gardeners for holding plants and trees upright without damage. Used in a more unusual way, it also makes a smart and very cost effective table runner.

A whole roll costs less than $10 and for this project you’ll have enough left over to create a few smaller place mats too.

You will need:

Jute garden webbing Hot glue gun or fabric craft glue Sewing machine Red cotton thread Sharp scissors

How to:

1. Cut 6 x lengths of jute webbing each measuring 1650mm and 30 x lengths each measuring 310mm




2. Arrange the long strips side-by-side then weave a shorter strip across one end. Dab a small amount of glue behind each strip to secure

3. Continue weaving the shorter strips, for these it’s not necessary to glue behind each, just the two ends

4. Continue all the way along and secure the other end by gluing behind each strip

5. Trim the edges if necessary, then using a sewing machine and red cotton thread, sew a hem approximately 10mm all the way around
