DIY Confetti Tablecloth

DIY Confetti Tablecloth - how we montessori

I had this fantastic idea for making children's bed linen. First I wanted to test my technique and my paints on a smaller project - a child sized tablecloth. 

The materials I used included:

  • 1 metre square cotton tablecloth. I purchased the cotton and hemmed it myself. It's a bit big on the pictured round table but it fits Otis' weaning table perfectly.
  • 1 round hole punch.
  • Freezer Paper (this is my first project ever using freezer paper).
  • Fabric paints.

Process for DIY Confetti Tablecloth

  1. I cut out squares of freezer paper and Caspar punched a hole in the centre of each one.
  2. In a rough pattern I placed the squares onto the tablecloth (shiny side down) then used a warm iron to adhere them to the fabric.
  3. Using coloured fabric paint I painted the punched out hole.
  4. Allow the paint to dry and then iron on the reverse side of the fabric to set the colour. Then peel off the freezer paper. 

I was so pleased with the sharp edges on the coloured confetti dots. Bed linen here we come.
