Tablerunner, Candle, and a Happy July 4th!

I wanted to make a table runner for the 4th of July and ran across these bandanas.  So, I thought I would use them.  After all, one needs to use the resources on hand.  Plus, I did not want to drive to town in the sweltering heat to the only cloth store within 50 miles and spend money!  And, the boys no longer wanted to use them to play cowboy.  A win-win situation for all! 

 I sewed them together and put some rick-rack on the seams because rick rack makes everything look happy!  The white bandana was a different size so I cut it to use on the ends.

Then, I decided I need a candle or something to go on top.  So, I took a white candle and wrapped a holiday napkin around the base, glue the edges together, and put it in a hurricane.  This way, I can take the napkin off after the 4th and put a different cover on the candle.  I thought my candle was quite pretty, even if I do say so myself! 

Now, the best part!  Cost?  Nothing!  I had all materials on hand!
