Confetti Placemats General Sewing
Make durable confetti placemats for Halloween from two
layers of clear vinyl, a layer of colored nylon net, and
decorative holiday confetti. Small, flat Halloween
decorations, like the jack o' lanterns, ghosts, and bats
shown here, can be mixed with the confetti. Random rows
of machine stitching divide the placemat into
compartments. For ease in stitching on vinyl, use a size
90/14 needle and a long stitch length. Loosen the needle
thread tension, and stitch at a slow speed with a sheet
of tissue paper under the placemat. Look for seasonal
plastic or metallic confetti in many shapes at craft and
fabric stores as well as card and gift shops. The
instructions that follow are for finished placemats that
measure approximately 12" x 18" (30.5 x 46 cm).
Decorative metallic or plastic confetti
or other small, flat decorations.
Pinking shears or scalloped scissors.
Spray adhesive.
Cutting
Directions
For each placemat, cut two 13-1/2" x 19-1/2"
(34.3 x 49.8 cm) rectangles from vinyl and cut
one 13" x 19" (33 x 48.5 cm) rectangle from net.
How to Sew a
Confetti Placemat
1) Mark a line on one piece of vinyl 3/4" (2
cm) from each edge, using a permanent-ink
marker.
2) Place the nylon
net over a protected surface; apply spray
adhesive lightly over net. Place confetti on
net, at least 1" (2.5 cm) from edges; arrange as
desired, pressing in place with finger.
3) Position the
marked piece of vinyl over the net and confetti;
smooth in place. Place vinyl and net over
remaining vinyl piece; be sure any large air
pockets are removed. Pin layers together outside
marked line.
4) Stitch around
placemat 1/4" (6 mm) inside marked line; place
tissue paper under placemat while stitching.
5) Stitch random
rows across the placemat, dividing it into
compartments; pivot fabric when possible for
continuous stitching. Use tape as guide for
stitching straight rows.
6) Remove tissue
paper. Trim around all sides of the placemat
inside marked lines, using pinking shears or
scalloped scissors; cut through all layers.
Tips for Sewing
Confetti Placemats
Cut plastic motifs from decorative wired
garland, to mix with confetti when larger motifs
are desired.
Use a monofilament
nylon thread for stitching that is least
visible.
Prevent presser foot from
sticking to the vinyl by applying silicone
lubricant frequently under front of presser
foot.
