I often use pieces of fabric for tablecloths … that way I can match my decor that day and then sew with it later.

I look for king size top sheets and use them for tablecloths when we have a large group over. The best part is they wash like a dream and dry with hardly a wrinkle so no tiring over the ironing board! I also used a few to make long, to the ground, round tablecloths for a party. They worked great for the tables we used, no seams, just measure, cut, and run up a quick hem! They saved us a load of money and the hostess was so happy to have them . We used an extra sheet to make a quilted serving pad for each table and matching napkins.

As odd as it may sound, paint drop-cloths can work, if it’s a super casual event, and they cost less then $5, in most cases.

I love this tip! I keep 2 twin sized plain white sheets just for this reason! And for making forts.

Creative non-fussy ideas are great. Because we use duvets instead of a top sheet we’ve always had top sheets to use for tablecloths when needed. But if you’ve seen my tablecloth stash you know it’s very unlikely I’ll run out LOL!

This is a fabulous idea! I’ve also bought yardage of pretty fabric when it’s on clearance, just hemmed the ends and Voila! Instant tablecloth.

clever! I’ve never thought of that idea! Tablecloths definitely improve a table immediately.
