SCALLOP

1) Place a regular tablecloth on the table. I like using fitted tablecloths if I’m going to use table
skirts, but a regular tablecloth would work just fine. Table skirts only cover the sides of a
table, so you definitely need a linen to cover the tabletop.
2) Attach table skirt clips. These are super easy to attach. Simply slide the table skirt clips over
the edges of the table, velcro side out.
3) Attach table skirt. Table skirts cover the sides of tables, and they’re perfect for cake,
sweetheart, and event station tables. Attach the velcro side of the table skirt to the velcro on
the skirt clips.
4) Drape a round tablecloth over the banquet table. Personally, I think satin looks great on a
polyester pleated or lace table skirt. For the 6 foot table below, I used a 108 in. round satin
tablecloth. See the wrinkles in the photo below? Make sure to iron your linens to avoid them!
5) Pin the tablecloth. Gather the tablecloth at the bottom from the direct center of your
rectangular banquet table and lift up, bunching together the cloth to form elegant folds of
satin. Then stick a pin through all the folds and make sure the pin is secure and closed.
6) Cover the pin and set your table! Try to tuck the pin underneath the satin tablecloth by simply
holding the area with the pin and rolling it under the satin on the tabletop. Set the table with
desserts, a guestbook, or whatever else and you’re done! Pretty easy, right?

BUTTERFLY

Butterfly table skirting is a table skirt that has sections of it

gathered up and secured at regular intervals. The result tends to make each section look a bit like a
butterfly wing.

A butterfly table skirting is a decorative accent on a table skirt, made by

gathering up the fabric and pining it to create swags. The gathered fabric
may be held in place with zip-ties and concealed with flowers or lace
bows.
