RUNNER
Greenery transforms a
plain piece of fabric into
an artful runner in less
than 5 minutes. “You
really can’t mess it up,”
Alethea says. Using a
variety of materials,
trimming the sprigs to
different lengths, and
having a few bright
berries in the mix helps
“make the runner look
intentional rather than
stuff just plopped on the
table,” she says.
This is the
kind of
project you
can do
with little
kids without
worrying
about things
getting
messy. Let
them help
gather
materials
from the
yard then
lay out
everything.

Spaces between
sprigs create places
for bottles of
wine or serving
dishes.
