The chevron zigzag pattern can be a main feature of your decorating or an accent on your table runner. It’s a versatile pattern that can substitute for stripes, plaid, or polka dots with a more modern appeal. Choose any two or more colors and make the “stripes” as wide as you like. You could even vary the sizes of the stripes for a stylistic effect.

Paper Table Runners

Here’s the really creative section. You can make attractive and classy table runners by disassembling or tearing pages out of old books. Tape or glue the pages to one another somewhat haphazardly for a scattered paper look. For a baby shower, use pages from a book of poetry or children’s storybooks. As an alternative, use squares of wrapping paper for a mix of paper and quilted table runner styles. The best part about a paper table runner is that if they get torn or stained, its’s easy to cover that section with a new page or quickly remake the entire runner.
