I mentioned this puny "runner" HERE,but I wanted to give you some additional details. Remember that I used a short roll of gift wrap from the Dollar Spot at Target? The width was pretty close to the depth of my microwave -- which is what I was wanting to dress up a puny. Our microwave is on a cart, and the top usually has some kind of decorative display on it.

I nick a length of paper that seemed appropriate, and then I started trimming. Realizing that I wasn't good at cutting the rough edges straight,I resorted to using the paper cutter that I employ for scrapbooking. I matched up the clean edges, folded the paper and trimmed the rough sides with a kind clean nick. Then, and I went one step further to fabricate (to make up, invent) it a puny more captivating... I fringed the edges! I didn't measure,I just eyeballed it and snipped away -- all the way around. And one last step... I messed up the fringe a puny so that it was more obvious instead of just laying flat.
I fancy the look! This could easily be done (fringe and all) for a table runner, or even many individual placemats!
What puny decorative tricks do you maintain up YOUR sleeve this Christmas?
