31 Home Projects for This Spring That Cost Under $30

16. Potato-Printed Table Runner

Create your own custom-themed table runner for spring using the ultimate inexpensive stamp material: a potato. Design*Sponge suggested choosing a plain table runner made from a natural fabric such as cotton or burlap, then spreading it out on a plastic tablecloth or sheet of cardboard.

Cut a potato in half, then carve a simple design such as a tulip bulb using a paring knife, removing the potato area around the tulip to create a stamp. Brush fabric paint over the surface of the stamp, then dab the potato stamp onto the table runner, repeating the process as often as you’d like to complete the design.

The total estimated cost for a potato-printed table runner is $7.66. Here’s what you’ll need:

Burlap runner: $4.29
Fabric paint: $3.37
