Want to brighten a table for the holiday season? Consider making a zesty runner like this one, produced by stylist Ingrid Leess. All you need to do is cut a long piece of felt about 13-15 inches wide, then cut and glue random strips of felt in alternating colors across the main strip. You can choose colors to complement your decor, like Ingrid did, or opt for hues that tie in with a theme like Christmas or Hanukkah. It’s a great low-cost way to dress up a coffee table during the holidays. Or you could use the technique to make fun pillows to give as gifts, too.
