Hello Super Cute!
In this tutorial, you will learn how to decorate a spectacular Table Runner for Thanksgiving with Silhouette Cameo. If you have Cricut or another cutting plotter machine, you can use the format supported by your software and follow the tutorial.
Gratitude is the greatest of virtues, which is why we must celebrate Thanksgiving by being aware of all the gifts given to us every day.
“Expressing gratitude is courteous and honorable, acting with gratitude is generous and noble; but to always live with gratitude in the heart is to touch the sky.”
Thomas S. Monson.

Plus I’ll give you lots of free design templates for you to enjoy making your DIY decorations for this great date.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how the finished table runner looks using the design template that I have free for you, plus I’ll give you a summary of the process.
To see in detail the step by step of how to cut and transfer a design in HTV (heat transfer vinyl) I invite you to visit the tutorial “The Definitive Guide on Vinyl and Silhouette Cameo 4, Step by Step“
Materials and Accessories

**If you do not have this element you can use a towel.
Note: Remember to wash the garment before transferring the heat vinyl. Also “mirror” the design before cutting it, and place the heat transfer vinyl in the machine, glossy side down and dull side up.
Preheat the garment for 5 seconds before transferring the design onto the vinyl.
Place the first layer of the design symmetrically, help yourself with a ruler, you don’t want a crooked design!
Transfer the first layer of the design using the heat press, according to the settings on the Cricut Heat Guide.
Remember to iron the garment on the back to improve the adherence of the vinyl.
Perform the stripping of the first layer (remove the support material from the HTV), according to the instructions in the Cricut Heat guide.
Position the second layer of the design symmetrically. Remember to protect the first layer with the support material that you previously removed, so that the heat press does not damage it on direct contact.
Iron the garment from the reverse to improve the adherence of the second layer of the design.
Peel the second layer (remove the support material from the HTV) as directed by the Cricut Heat guide.
Repeat the same steps at the other end of the table runner, to obtain a beautiful result!
