Black mesh cheesecloth-type fabric covers this table.Β It is sold around Halloween but usuallyΒ is cut into smaller pieces suchΒ 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.Β Many times this kind of fabricΒ 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.Β I lined up the pieces on the table like a tablecloth and got all the pieces even.Β Then I tied about four strings for each piece.Β 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.Β So for this table, I used four pieces and tied them together to make a tablecloth to seat eight for under $5.
