At a recent group sewing event, we learned how to make a wonderful Christmas Table Runners with a Half Hexagon template. One of us saw the online tutorial that Jenny, with MSQC, put together and we were hooked!  These came together so simply and I find myself looking forward to making more.  These are such a fun and simple project!  I just loved making one, so I had to make several more!

I used to sell these table runners in my Etsy shop, and they were very popular!  These also make a really great gift!  Let me tell you all the things you will need to make your own Christmas Table Runners (and the list is very short – Yay)

Christmas Table Runners – SUPPLIES LIST

• Several 10″ x 10″ pieces of Christmas Fabric
  • You can use a fun (affiliate link) Christmas Layer Cake
• Several 10″ x 10″ pieces of Background Fabric
  • I often have a (affiliate link) white or neutral Layer Cake to use

• Star Paper Template
• Batting

Christmas Table Runners – TOOLS NEEDED

• Sewing Machine
  • If you are looking for a new machine, here are my recommendations
• Cutting Mat & Rotary Cutter
  • I love this (affiliate link) Rotary Cutter!
  • You need this (affiliate link) Rotating Cutting Mat – please Santa???!!?
• iron and ironing board (add this ironing board to your Christmas Wish List)

Choosing and cutting your fabric, from your layer cake, is really fun!  You can usually find duplicates in each layer cake.  One 10″ square will yield (2) half hexagons.

Check out Jenny’s tutorial to see how easy this Christmas Table Runner is to make!

Jenny’s Half Hexagon Template works really well for the Layer Cakes, but if you wanted to use your existing Christmas yardage, you can use any type of half hexagon template.  Amazon has a pretty decent selection of (affiliate link) Half Hexagon Templates as well.

I hope you have lots of fun making these Christmas Table Runners!

Happy Stitches!
