DIY paper tablecloth

I've had a couple of people ask how I made the tablecloth in the harvester restaurant. Here it is:

What you will need. 

Your table
Scrapbook or light craft paper
Scissors
Ruler
Pen


For this example I've chosen a checkered pattern, but if you choose a floral pattern you will need to decide what part of the pattern you wish to use. 


Place your table on the paper & trace around it. 


Now measure 2.5cm/ 1 inch from the corners & place a dot. (You will need 8 dots)


Using the ruler, draw lines using the dots. 


Cut on the outer lines 


It should look like this:


Now extend the lines to the edges


It should look like this


Fold on lines 


Both ways




Draw line in corners like this 


And fold that towards centre 


It will look like this 


Then put it on you table


This will work for square or rectangular tables.
