Baby, It’s Cold Outside is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. It’s one of those Christmas songs that I could listen to on repeat over and over again. I wanted to create a beautiful holiday focal point for our entryway table. I decided to create a holiday table runner and add my favorite Christmas song, Baby, It’s Cold Outside.

Step 1: Choose your Fabric
Pick a thick, light, solid colored fabric great for writing a holiday saying on. I went with an off-white, cream, solid, linen fabric.
Step 2: Measure
First measure the area you want to cover and decide if you want it to hang over the edge of your table. I wanted mine to show some of the table along the longest edge and to hang over the edge on the shorter ends of the table.
Step 3: Cut the Fabric
Turn the fabric over to the back side facing up and mark out the measurements be sure to add 1.5″ to all four sides to allow for sewing the edges of the fabric. Then cut out the fabric.
Step 4: Iron the Fabric
Place the fabric with the back side facing up. Fold the fabric edge in about 3/4″ and iron it down. Iron all the way around the fabric.
Then repeat this step again going around the fabric folding the fabric inward 3/4″ and iron it down.
Step 5: Sew the Edges
Now sew around the four edges of the fabric.
Step 6: Iron the Fabric
Iron the fabric to get out all of the wrinkles.
