Homemade table decorations

Make your own Christmas table decorations – it's really easy with edding textile markers! Design a table runner with your own motifs

Create your own simple but elegant Christmas table runner just in time for the festive season. We show you how easy it is to make.

You just need a selection of edding textile markers available in two different brush widths and in 20 bright colours. We've chosen brown for this example and we've created a simple but effective cross-stitch pattern for you to follow, although you can choose your own colours and any other patterns you like.

Step-by-step

Step 1

If the table runner is new, start by washing out the starch and allow to dry. Enlarge the "cross-stitch pattern” template to the desired size. With a little practice you can try recreating the motif without using a template.

Step 2

Position the template in the centre beneath the table runner. Transfer the motifs onto the runner using the textile makers. The edding 4600 textile pen is better for fine precise strokes, as the nib width is only 1mm. If you're working with different colours and don't want the colours to blend, then always allow the first colour to dry. You can blend/mix the colours together before the ink dries.
