How to Make a Curly Willow Table Skirt

It's super easy to make your own curly willow table skirt. If you’re more of the crafty type, you can definitely do a DIY curly table skirt.

1. Using a rectangular tablecloth, cut this out into 4 equal parts. With your tablecloth stacked on top of each other, cut out a large circle. It doesn’t need to be perfect. 

2. Cut a spiral pattern into your circle. Start from outside going into the center. At the end of your spiral, leave a 1 inch margin from the center. 

3. Stretch out your cut out table cloth. You will begin to see it curl when held on one end. If the cloth is too long, you can cut it in half. Separate the curly strands of table cloth. 

4. Repeat these steps until you have enough curly willow tablecloth strands to cover the edges of your table. You can use different colors and alternate these for a colorful table skirting set-up. 

5. Using a roll of paper streamer, measure the length of your table edges. Cut out the paper streamer at the desired length with some margin. Tape the curly string cut outs to one side of the streamer. You may also use a glue gun to secure your tablecloth cut-outs. 

6. Pin your paper streamer, with the curly tablecloth cutouts attached, to the edges of your table. Secure them into place and voila! You have your DIY curly willow table skirts. The more curly cut out strands you make, the more volume your table skirt will have.
