Tutorial: Chalkboard cloth table runner

Autie from iCandy Handmade shows how you can make a quick chalkboard cloth table runner. She shows it for Halloween – and with a black & white chevron border it’s sufficiently spooky – but you could use this throughout the year. You can write Halloween messages down the table runner as part of your décor, or pull it out for a party buffet and write the names of the foods directly on the runner in front of the dishes.
