How to make a Cheap and Easy Table Skirt

Instructions

1.Measure the length and width of the table and the thickness of the tabletop itself. For round tables, measure the diameter of the table and add the thickness of the tabletop.

2. Using scissors or a fabric knife, cut the cloth that will cover the top of the table to the table's dimensions plus 1 inch of overhang on all sides. The extra material is necessary for the seam for the second piece of the skirt.

3. Cut the fabric that will drape the table (and serve as the actual skirt). The fabric should be as wide as the clearance between the tabletop and the floor, and as long as the perimeter or circumference of the tabletop.

4. Warm up your iron to the setting stated on the seam tape. Overlap the two pieces of fabric, then put the tape over the seam and iron the tape according to the manufacturer's instructions. Tape the seam around the entire skirt.

5. Place the fabric over your table and drape it the way that you think looks best, making sure the corners properly align to your table edges or, for round tables, that the center of the fabric aligns to the center of the table.

History of Table Skirting

The history of table skirts seems to consist of bits and pieces of information as well as a great many educated guesses about the origin of covering the front of a table. Such seemingly unrelated bits of information, some without documentation, are difficult to call a definitive history, yet evidence of table skirts in the past does indicate that the custom existed before the 20th century.

How to Skirt a Table

Table Skirting

The skirts are applied last. All of our table skirts have a Velcro strip sewn along the top back edge, for easy attachment to the clips. Skirts come in 3 different sizes - below you'll learn how to determine which size you need.

Table skirting can of course be used without toppers or clips, but without clips you'll need a different means to attach the skirting to your tables.

Table Skirt Clips

Clips slide over the topper and table edge - or bare table edge should you not want toppers.
They come in many sizes to fit different size table thicknesses, and have Velcro on the outward portion.
The Velcro is important because this is what's going to attach to the skirts.

Table Topper

The topper is essentially a table cloth that covers the top of the table and a small amount of its sides.
Our table toppers are specially made from the same fabric as our skirting to ensure they match perfectly
