This scattered doily table runner is both elegant and rustic, the perfect thing to liven up a boring old table. Be sure to try a variety of combinations before you finalize the layout of your runner. Depending on your style you may want something with lots of space between doilies or one that is more tightly packed with edges overlapping.

Things you’ll need:
A variety of crocheted doilies
White or off white thread
Embroidery needle
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Using a large flat surface, preferable the table where you will use the runner, lay out your doilies until you find an arrangement you like, making sure you have at least a little overlap to stitch them together.

2. Tightly stitch them together wherever they overlap, making sure the doilies lay flat as you go.
3. Trim all threads and spread out on your table.
