You can make your own table runner in the traditional gold, green and purple colors for Mardi Gras. To do this all you will need is some glue, glitter, and a fabric in the color of your choice. Once you have the fabric run glue all around it and add the glitter to it to make it very decorative for Mardi Gras. Cut the fabric down to size for your table and then you can tape the edges down underneath the table. You can get these supplies at your local craft store for about ten dollars and you can use any fabric you choose including plastic or felt. This is a very simple easy homemade idea for getting your house ready for Mardi Gras.

You can also make a homemade Mardi Gras decorative bowl for serving treats. You will need a plastic or glass bowl and some paint in the gold, green or purple colors.
