Table runner with a dot pattern

An eye-catching feature for your garden table

Dotty about dots? This stylish table runner features an elegant circular motif in different shades of maritime blue - perfect for your table next time you host an outdoor party, whether in the garden or on the balcony. This simple dot pattern is easy to recreate using edding textile pens. The pens work brilliantly on light-coloured fabrics and come in a choice of 20 colours, so you're sure to find the perfect shade for you. What’s more, once you’ve completed your design, simply give your finished table runner a quick iron without steam. It can then be washed at up to 60°C without fading.

Step-by-step

Step 1

First, wash, dry and iron your table runner to make sure the colours adhere properly to the fabric. In our example, we’ve used a set of 5 edding 4600 textile pens in cool blue shades.

Step 2

Prepare your workspace by placing a sheet of cardboard under your table runner to prevent any ink from bleeding through onto the table. Next, use your textile pens to draw a series of dots in a circular pattern all the way along your table runner. By adding dots in different shades of blue, you can create a really attractive and coherent pattern. Once you’re done, simply iron over the fabric without steam to fix the ink.
