Christmas Table Setting for a Small Apartment: Emerald Cheesecloth Runner

A runner changes how a table looks without adding anything to store. This emerald green cheesecloth runner is light, loose and long enough to drape over the edges.

Add a few branches of greenery, candles and plain plates, and the table looks set for the holidays.

How it fits a small space

  • Listed length: 120 inches (10 ft).
  • That is longer than most small tables, so let the ends hang down or fold them under.
  • Check on the listing whether you are buying one runner or a set.

What to know before you buy

  • Cheesecloth is sheer and creases easily. Steam it or hang it up for a day before you use it.
  • It is a decoration, not a protective cloth. Use a mat under hot dishes.
  • Keep candles well away from the fabric. LED candles are safer for a loose weave.

How to use it

  • Run it the length of the table and put the greenery and candles down the middle.
  • Use plain white or cream plates so the green stays the main color.
  • Fold the runner and store it flat. It takes less room than a rolled one.
