"Using tablecloths as shelf covers or drawer liners allows you to cut away any unsightly spots and display the still-lovely stretches of fabric. And, of course, it's a smart way to protect kitchen cabinets, drawers, and shelves for the long haul. While tablecloths-turned-liners prevent scratches and any other damage, they also contribute some warmth. If you're embracing the cozy kitchen design trend, repurposing tablecloths this way instantly softens hard edges and brings in color and texture."
"The actual repurposing is a snap, too. Simply measure your shelves, or drawer or cabinet interiors, then cut the tablecloth accordingly - you may want to leave a touch of extra fabric in case there are any frayed edges to trim, which pinking shears can handle. Then simply lay the cloth down, using some fabric tape (something like SWRT double-side tape from Amazon) to keep it in place."
Repurpose worn or imperfect tablecloths as shelf covers or drawer liners to protect cabinets, drawers, and shelves while adding warmth, color, and texture to the kitchen. Measure shelves or interiors, cut the fabric to size leaving extra for trimming, and use pinking shears to manage frayed edges. Secure liners with double-sided fabric tape to keep them in place. Mix and match less-perfect pieces for hidden drawers, or maintain a cohesive look on open pantry shelves by using matching cloths or alternating patterns. The practice is eco-friendly, thrifty, preserves sentimental textiles, and softens hard edges for a cozier, eclectic kitchen.
