A runner with style

Looking for another interesting DIY idea??? Check this out...A personalized hand-made aisle runner!

The How-To:
Step 1: purchased white muslin that measured 36″ wide. I used a bolt, but purchases as many yards to create the length you want.
Step 2: Layout the muslin and iron flat the section you wish to do the logo. I placed mine toward the bottom of the aisle runner.
Step 3: I purchased the stencil from Hobby Lobby. Arrange the stencil so that you will be able to fit two of them angled where the ends almost touch.
Step 4: Complete the circle by rotating the stencil around four times.
Step 5: For the initials, create your layout on the computer and print it. Place the paper under the fabric centered in the circle. You will be able to see the initials through the fabric.Trace the initials with paint. I used acrylic craft paint. Do the same thing for the date.
Step 6: The edges of the muslin are already serged all you have to do is serge or hem the top and bottom of the muslin.

I saw this on Vintageglam, and couldn't help but pass it on. How fantastic is this DIY runner idea? Thank you Brandi for the step by step instructions.... it looks pretty easy, and turned out fabulous! The big question is do I still stomach the $150 the florist is charging me for a runner, or do I attempt this beauty on my own??

*PS: not only is this idea fun for wedding related items, but think of using the technique on other things... how about a personalized hanky or pillow... or even napkins!?!
