When it comes to baby showers, I love a good DIY project that’s equal parts adorable and affordable—and these bows made from plastic tablecloths check both boxes. I can’t take credit for this clever idea (it’s been floating around the internet for a while!), and I’d happily point you to the original creator if I knew who they were. But when I made mine, I added a little twist that I think made all the difference—and I’m excited to show you exactly what I did.

Plastic rectangle table cloths – you can get these from dollar tree but I am intrigued by these sets of similar color table cloths for this project
That’s it.
How to make Table Cloth Bows for Baby Showers
Take your table cloth out of the package and it will typically already be folded into a rectangle. I unfolded it one time so that it was in a long narrow strip that measured about 8 inches wide.
This is the part that I did differently. Find the center of the table cloth and pinch it a few times to create a fan fold.
Then create two big loops and tie them together.
Floof the loops and then cut the tails to your desired length. I cut mine on a slight angle to add interest.
The fan fold really made these look lovely – and the great news is that you can transport these and they can get smooshed and they easily come back to life with a little fluffing up.
