Here’s a DIY summer tablecloth that’s so easy that truly anyone can make it. “July is prime time for this seasonal fruit. Why not give it the 15 minutes of fame it deserves?” says David Stark, our go-to expert for event design and the mastermind behind this clever project. Here's how.
Materials:
– Acrylic paint, in brown and two shades of blue– Fabric or paper– Pencils with new erasers– Small paint brush– Small box or box lid
1. Use a small brush to trace the box or lid onto the fabric with brown paint. Repeat to create a scattered farmer’s market pattern.
Fill your baskets with tiny blueberries in two shades of blue! Simply dip the eraser into the paint and stamp it onto your fabric.
Allow to dry, set your table, and have fun!
The finished product. White and blue dishes and serving ware complement the theme.
On the menu? Fresh blueberries and blueberry pie, of course.
