Eid Crepe Paper Table Runner {Tutorial}

July 23, 2012December 8, 2020 acraftyarab Eid Tutorial, Ramadan Crafts

I’m a little short on time today, since it’s a typical Monday, so we made this Eid table runner from supplies at hand, crepe paper.

I don’t know about you guys, but since the bank, post office and all other such places are closed on Sunday, it seems that Monday’s to do list is longer then any other days.

Today’s 30 Day Ramadan Crafty Challenge has to be a quick and easy one as Eid is not that far away. Eid Al Fitr is the holiday celebration at the end of Ramadan.

Today I thought it might be fun to decorate the table where we eat dinner.
We made a festive table runner out of crepe paper. The little Egyptian man and woman above are wood figures I picked up in the Egyptian souk. I wish I had written down the artist’s name.

Supplies

Crepe paper
Scissors
Tape

Start by cutting out five long pieces of crepe paper. We didn’t really
measure, we just wanted to make sure the ends were long enough to be covered by the place mats.

Then cut off five pieces of shorter crepe paper to go in the other
direction.

Weave the shorter pieces in the longer pieces to create a basket weave
design.

Tape down your edges.

You are done!

We started with just the simple design that you see in the second picture,
but then wanted to use up some of the letters we used in our I Love Allah This Much craft. It turned out that the blue was a nice contrast to the yellow and white. The crescent moon and stars are made from a craft punch I have. “Eid Saeed” means Happy Eid.

Okay, I’m off to run my errands. Make sure you stop by A Crafty Arab on Pinterest to see more crafts to make in a hurry.
