Flower Table Cloth Weights

June 21, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 19 Comments

I love those disposable plastic table cloths for birthday parties and summer BBQs, but they are pretty plain and annoying in the wind. I decided to make some Flower Table Cloth Weights to keep the table cloth in place and also add a bit of flair. It is so easy to make your own and they work really well!

Supplies needed:
Clips with a hole in the top
Flowers
Glue Gun
Glue sticks
*all my supplies were purchased at Dollar Tree. I know big surprise. 😉

Since I bought stems of white daisies at the dollar store, they were kinda sparse. I pulled them apart and combined the petals of two flowers to make them look nice and full.

Before putting the green back on again, I added some glue to the stem to make them stay together better.

Then just add glue to the green stem and stick it through the clip hole.

It’s as easy as that! Then just scrunch up the bottom of the table cloth and clip the flower on.

To store, place flower down flat in a gallon ziploc bag.

I made 8 flower table cloth weights which used 8 clips and 16 flowers. You could make 10 weights with 2 packs of clips and 3 bunches of flowers ($5).

    These are fantastic! I’ll have to look for the supplies the next time I go to the dollar store. Every time we eat outside I always lament that I don’t have something to weigh the table cloth down, but then I forget about it…until the next time I need to use a table cloth outside. Now I’m motivated to remember!

    You are literally a crafty goddess. And… I could actually do that craft… well probably. Okay I would likely burn myself on the hot glue… but still.

    I love this.

    Also,
    I bought those placemats, and after a couple nights of using them, they were ready for a wash. Well, FYI even if the tag says “Machine Wash. Tumble Dry Low” it is sooo untrue. Mine ended up all washed out, and skewed. UGH! There goes those pretty placemats that I was so excited about!
