Sure, vintage tablecloths look great on a table, but there are so many fun things you can do with them. Even if a vintage tablecloth is slightly damaged or soiled not throw them away. Read about some of these creative uses for old linens and turn it into something beautiful place.

One of the easiest things to do with the fabric of a vintage tablecloth is to become a cushion. The good thing about this is that even if a large part of the cloth is stained or damaged, provided you can find a section in which is in good shape large enough to cover the front of a pillow can be used. By placing your cushion can use the cloth fabric on the back and both the front pillow, or you can choose a contrasting fabric cotton denim or plaid, as for the piece back. Printed Tablecloths vintage floral with fruit, or the novelty of models work especially well for this project.

Another fun use for old fabric tablecloths is to create handbags. Sewing a handbag is quite easy and instructions are available online or patterns that you can purchase at your local craft store to help you along your way. One of the most beautiful bags I have seen are made of cloth of a vintage western theme was printed 50 of cowboys and horses style. Again, you can make the bag full of cloth or add a contrasting fabric to give it more visual interest.

If your style leans toward the miserable, take a vintage lace tablecloth and make a panel the curtain. Or, line the cloth with plain weave in the back to create a beautiful quilt or throw one. The great thing about lace lining is that you can choose any color fabric compliments your decor and make them poke through the holes in the socket.

For smaller projects, try a magazine cover, screen or box with fabric to create a piece of a species. You can connect the material with spray adhesive or hot glue to any number of objects to give them instant retro flare.

Although many vintage tablecloths are collectible and can be quite expensive, you can also find beautiful tablecloths for just a few dollars if you look around.
