Easy-to-Make Halloween Cheesecloth Tablecloth

Black mesh cheesecloth-type fabric covers this table.  It is sold around Halloween but usually is cut into smaller pieces such as 30″ x 72″ inches (76.2 x 182.88 centimeters).

You can use these small fabric pieces to create a large tablecloth by tying some of the loose strings together on the edges, thus connecting two pieces of fabric. You only have to tie a few strings to create a larger piece of fabric. Many times this kind of fabric will shed a few strings that you can use to thread through the loops and tie a knot.

When connecting the fabric pieces together, make sure the fabric is even so you don’t have a lopsided tablecloth. My table seats eight, so I used four fabric pieces.  I lined up the pieces on the table like a tablecloth and got all the pieces even.  Then I tied about four strings for each piece.  Because it is a messy fabric, you can’t tell where the ties are.

I bought the fabric pieces from the dollar store for $1 apiece.  So for this table, I used four pieces and tied them together to make a tablecloth to seat eight for under $5.
