What is the Purpose of Placemats?

The purpose of placemats is not only to protect the table and add an aesthetic appeal, but they also serve a functional purpose. Placemats help to catch any spills or crumbs, making it easier to clean up after a meal. Additionally, they can help to reduce noise levels, preventing the clanging of plates and cutlery on the hard surface of the table.

How Do You Make Beautiful Placemats?

Making your own placemats is a great way to add a personal touch to your dining table. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create beautiful placemats:

  1. Choose your fabric: Select a fabric that is durable and easy to clean. Natural fibers like cotton and linen work well, but you can also use synthetic materials like vinyl or oilcloth.

  2. Measure and cut: Measure the size of your placemats and add 1 inch to each side for hemming. Cut the fabric to size.

  3. Hem the edges: Fold the edges of the fabric over by ½ inch and press with an iron. Fold over again 

  4. Sew the hem: Using a sewing machine or a needle and thread, sew the hem in place, making sure to backstitch at the beginning and end.
  5. Add embellishments: This is where you can get creative. You can add a trim or ribbon to the edge of the placemat, or use fabric paint to add a design or pattern.
  6. Let it dry: If you added any embellishments, let the placemat dry completely before using it.

Making your own placemats is not only fun and easy, but it also allows you to create something unique and personalized for your dining table. Plus, you can match them to your décor and change them up with the seasons or holidays.

Should Placemats Match the Table?

This is a common question when it comes to placemats. The short answer is no, they don't have to match the table. In fact, it's often better to choose a contrasting color or pattern to add interest and dimension to the table. However, if you prefer a cohesive look, you can choose placemats that match the tablecloth or the overall color scheme of the room.

How to Clean and Care for Placemats

Proper care and maintenance of your placemats will ensure that they last for years to come. Here are some tips on how to clean and care for your placemats:

  1. Check the care label: Before washing your placemats, check the care label to see if they can be machine washed or if they need to be hand washed.

  2. Pre-treat stains: If you have any stains on your placemats, pre-treat them with a stain remover before washing.

  3. Wash in cold water: Use cold water and a mild detergent to wash your placemats. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric.

  4. Hang to dry: Hang your placemats to dry, or lay them flat to avoid any wrinkles.

  5. Iron if necessary: If your placemats are wrinkled, iron them on a low setting to remove any creases.
