In case you missed my post yesterday, I shared my DIY Thrifty Thanksgiving Table.
In my opinion, the DIY spotted tablecloth stole the show!
As promised, today I am going to share the tutorial with you.
It’s not much of a tutorial because it is SO easy, but this is what I did:
Supplies:
+ White Fabric (I purchased mine from Home Fabrics for $3.99/yard and needed 1.5 yards)
+ Black Paint (I probably should have used fabric paint, but I had black acrylic paint on hand and it worked great. So far it has held up to ironing, although I haven’t washed it yet. I’ll let you know how that goes after the Holidays).
Tutorial:
1. Cover your table in plastic (I used big black garbage bags). When you apply the paint onto the fabric, it will bleed through the back (unless you use a really thick fabric), so it’s a good idea to protect the table with plastic.
2. Place your fabric on the table.
3. I cut 3 red potatoes in half to create stamps. One large, one medium, and one small. I like how the potatoes are not perfectly round, a look I wanted to achieve. I then dipped the potato in the black paint and stamped it on the tablecloth.
I didn’t follow any pattern, just randomly stamped all over.
4. I then took the end of my paintbrush, dipped it in the paint, and stamped on the smallest dots.
I also used the back of the paintbrush to fix any mistakes I made with the potato stamps.
5. I then let it dry and then continued the steps on the remainder of the tablecloth.
See, told you it was easy!

It looks amazing! Way to use what you have around the house, so inspiring!
That is so awesome! Bravo to you!
Thank you!
Love 🙂
Thanks Heather!
I want one too, or maybe some pillows of curtains 😉 Looks awesome!
I know, I need some spotted curtains in my life!
love this!! so.. i have a round table too, looks about the same size. did you leave your “tablecloth” (fabric) in the shape of a square? or do you round it? how wide was the fabric – standard 45″? seems like buying (affordable) fabric is much cheaper than buy a tablecloth. even cheap (ugly) tablecloths at Smiths/FredMeyers are like $20. Yours has so much character, and has that WOW designer look.
(loving your blog sooo much!!!)
The fabric is 54″ wide and I did just leave it in a square. I just hemmed the edges and called it a day!
skinny minnie!!!! and cute tablecloth!!!
You’re a genius! Love it…looks just like the Premier Togo fabric!
Love it! Are your little pumpkins real? What did you paint them with?
i love it!! It really did steal the show!!
Love love love this!! Such a great idea!
You are so clever!! It’s stunning:)
Sooooo cute and creative! I love every part of it!
Absolutely love this!!!!!!

I like your post. You are very clever, very much love your home decoration methods.
Seriously, love this idea! Simple enough that I could actually do it. Your table looks gorgeous!
Amazing to think of using potatoes! So creative. I bet you could put a toothpick in them to use as a handle when your stamping the dots. Such a fun table, I love it.
I think I am going to attempt to do this today but I am scared because I am not crafty at all! I would love to give me old card table tablecloth a makeover like this so wish me luck and let me know any other tips you may have. Here’s to hoping I don’t royally screw it up!!
