Easy No-Sew Linen Placemats
Who doesn’t love a good no-sew project? I tend to come up with these ideas during the summer because they’re well suited for hot weather. You’re not tied up to your sewing machine so you’re free to take your project wherever you please: traveling, on a picnic, in the garden, or right in front of the AC vent…
These No-Sew Placemats are a super portable craft, fold your linen squares and take them with you on the go!
Find the detailed step-by-step here!
To start off, iron your fabric on a heat-proof surface and cut as many rectangles as you need placemats.
Next, pinch a thread from the short edge of the rectangle and pull it to remove it from the fabric. Keep unthreading the fabric until you have a few inches of loose fibers.
Once you’re done unthreading your fabric, fold the long edges and glue them down with a glue gun or fabric glue.
Finally, knot the loose edges. Give each knot a little tug to make sure it is tight and won’t unravel when you wash the placemats.
That’s all! If your linen was pre-washed, your placemats are ready to use right away. They look especially good on a wooden table contrasting with the natural linen although, I imagine they would also look great dyed with natural ingredients like avocadoes or onions skins to produce delicate shades!
