You might generally use tablecloths to dress the tables around your home and protect their surface from unsightly scratches and accidental spills. But did you know that you can also use them to adorn your blank walls? Simply fashion them into bows and follow the tips for decorating a large blank wall without making it look cluttered. But if you'd rather not subject your expensive tablecloths to this, get a few cheap ones from Dollar Tree for a similar effect. You can even use these plastic red gingham table covers for this DIY.

The discount store offers a variety of tablecloths, so you won't have a hard time finding one to match your interior. To illustrate, if you're a fan of minimalist décor, get a solid-colored cloth in your favorite shade, including black, red, pink, blue, white, green, purple, yellow, and more. However, if you're a fan of bold designs, a metallic gold or silver-colored tablecloth will be best for you. You could even buy summer, luau, or tropical fruit-themed plastic covers for a fun DIY project. These plastic red gingham table covers will bring a picnic-y vibe to your space. Once you have the cloth you like, get ready to create the most adorable wall décor.

Start by laying out your chosen cover on a flat surface to confirm you don't need to get wrinkles out of your Dollar Tree plastic tablecloth. Then, fold the tablecloth in half and cut it in the middle to get two long, even pieces. Now, tie each one in a bow shape. You can make the bow as tiny or fluffy as you like. For an even simpler process, skip the cutting part and tie a large knot with your entire table cover to mimic a large bow.

After you have the bow, fluff out its sides to give it more character. You can even add a little oomph to the ends. Cut them in an upward direction for a triangular appearance, like most party bows sport. Or, make a straight cut so there's no unsightly overlapping. Once you're happy with your bows' overall appearance, stick some double-sided tape to their backs to put them up on your wall. In case you're a renter or just don't want to risk damaging your wall's paint, opt for removable tapes like EZlifego's Heavy Duty Nano Adhesive one. Put up one giant bow to turn it into a focal statement or craft a couple of relatively smaller ones for an adorable finish.
