I was looking for something to add a little special touch to my table this Fall (after adding this beautiful Farmhouse planter to the kitchen) and wanted something that was neutral and rustic looking. I don't particularly like the look of bright pre-dyed felt so when I saw this beautiful blanket batting that had a gorgeous natural look to it I knew it was exactly what I wanted.

To make the no-sew table runner, I needed straight sides so used a long board to draw a line down each side. You could also use a metre or yard stick.

I also added point on each end to give the runner a nice shape.

To add some colour, each end was adorned with flowers cut from the same fabric and dyed with paint.

To colour the flowers, water down a spoonful of paint and dip each flower into the mixture. I could have used pre-coloured felt for the flowers but wanted them to have a more muted, old look to them.

To get the Fall colours, I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Barcelona Orange, Country Chic Paint in Fresh Mustard and Fusion Mineral Paint in Fort York Red.
