Hello dear friends! I just wanted to do a quick post on my latest favorite project, a DIY no-sew vintage style tablecloth with pom-pom trim. I am loving this tablecloth, and everyone has asked about it so I decided to create quick post today. I needed to come up with something at the last minute for the tea and roses blog hop and that is how this pretty tablecloth transpired.
I had no idea that the tablecloth would turn out as cute as it did, so I didn’t really prepare to do a detailed post. I will just tell you the basics of what I did, and honestly there isn’t really too much to share, it was just so simple and easy!
I found some pretty material at Joann Fabric in the clearance section and bought enough to cover a 36 inch round drop leaf table. I am not sure of the exact measurements, because I just eyeballed it. I knew it was going to be short, so I also picked up some pom-pom tassel fringe to hot glue around the edges. Here is a similar trim I found on Amazon (affliliate link):
1 1/2in Bonita Pom Pom Fringe Trim Pink
I was so rushed for time I didn’t even fold up the tablecloth and cut it in a semi-circle the way I should have. I just stuck in on the table and walked around and cut off the long parts on the corners of the fabric to make it fit the round table.
After cutting out the round shape for the table, I just laid the material up on the island in my kitchen and hot glued the pom pom trim around the edge of the tablecloth to give it a little extra vintage charm and length.
Here is how it looks up close. You cannot tell it was such a quick and easy no sew project!
And I didn’t even burn myself with the hot glue gun! What a successful endeavor!
And that is all there is to making a pretty vintage style tablecloth at the last minute! I am going to make a another one soon, so I will be sure to do a post with all the proper measurements and more detailed instructions. If you love this tablecloth, you can see more photos in my post, A Classical Tea For Beethoven and Me from The Tea and Roses Blog Hop.

I absolutely love this idea- what a glue gun will do, I am constantly thankful! I love how you did it here the exact way I would- no proper cutting and just eyeballing it!
May 25, 2018 at 8:50 amHi Barrie! I figured some DIY’ers might be put off by my lack of specific measurements, but I do eyeball half my crafts because I get spontaneous ideas (and I am impatient!) Thanks so much for visiting today, I hope you will come back soon!
May 26, 2018 at 10:07 pmSuper cute! Love anything pom pom, especially no sew!! I would use the Amazon gift card to treat myself to some new summer clothes.

May 29, 2018 at 8:56 amWowza! This table cloth is such a big impact for a no- sew project! Pretty colors, too. Well done! 🙂 Catherine
Thank you so much Catherine, I am so glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by!
May 29, 2018 at 9:45 pmOh, to compleate a glue gun project without a burn! Be still, my foolish heart! I love how it looks. Is it gonna survive laundering or will you come back and stitch it. Or just use it for a while for decor, not to really eat on. Or cut it in half after and have 2 curtain valances….
May 29, 2018 at 3:37 pmHi Kathy! I think it will withstand hand washing, but I will probably just be using it for decorative purposes. I love your idea about the valances! Thanks for stopping by!

I love all things vintage and all things pom pom. When you combine that with a no-sew project… PERFECT! It’s adorable.
May 31, 2018 at 11:48 amI’m so impressed you managed all that gluing and didn’t burn yourself! I manage to burn myself using a glue gun for a minute!! This cloth turned out really pretty, that fabric is just lovely.
