Michelle Lepak, of Dandelion Patina, completely transformed her tablecloth into a wreath that's a little bit rustic and little bit farmhouse.
Using burlap and lace on the straw wreath with a damask tablecloth creates the perfect balance of country and femininity. And it works beautifully for the fall season!

Jessica Urgelles, of A Southern Mother, used her tablecloth to get ready for the holidays by creating festive wall art.
You can turn an old tablecloth into beautiful wall art by simply wrapping it around a canvas and tying a festive bow! Make a few and stack them up on your mantle for a playful take on presents.
