How To Make A Marble Table Runner
This is such an easy, inexpensive DIY Decor project that’s timeless and classic!
This marble runner is so beautiful – marble is such an elegant look!
The soft gray and white marble pattern adds a casual, sophisticated style.
This DIY runner is a great way to add a bit of height to any centerpiece, raise candle votives and a vase of flowers a bit to add interest and style to place settings.
This would make an amazing, inexpensive DIY wedding table decor idea too!
This marble runner is also a great way to update a dining table and give it an instant refresh without breaking the bank!
It’s so easy to clean too – just wipe off with a damp cloth!
Design Tip: I love using this chic marble piece with two white cotton/linen table runners . Lay the fabric table runners widthwise between opposite chairs in the middle of the table!
It looks so stunning with candles, votives and a vase of flowers displayed on it!

Supplies:
- MDF or melamine board cut to size – I used one that is 11.5″ wide x 30″ long x 1/2″ thick.
- 1 roll of Peel and Stick Self-Adhesive Marble Film
- Scissors
Directions:
- Cut the MDF to size.
- Cut off a piece of the peel and stick marble adhesive paper from the roll, that’s big enough so it will wrap around the length and width, plus edges of the MDF board.
- Unroll one end of the peel and stick marble film from the backing about 1 inch.
- Place sticky side of marble film down on top of one long edge of melamine shelf and run finger or credit card along top to smooth.
- Slowly unroll marble film along top of shelf smoothing out bubbles as you go.
- Flip board and film over.
- Wrap the board like a present: press the two short sides of the marble film onto the board, creating two wings, one wing on the top and one at the bottom.
- Finish by pressing the bottom wing of film, then the top wing onto the board so that the board is completely wrapped.
- Smooth out all bubbles using fingers or a credit card.

I am a little confused about how you manage to get neat corners. Can you provide a little more detail and/or pictures that show the actual corners. Thank you.
I rewrote the instructions, hopefully it makes it clearer! It’s just like wrapping a gift! 🙂
I am a bit confused also. The film you suggested on amazon doesn’t fit the 30” board length wise. I ended up having to wrap the short sides as well as one long side of the board. Do you cut the film in two pieces ,wrapping the top and all four sides then the bottom.
Hello Lois – No I didn’t cut the film in 2 pieces because this adhesive film fits a 30″ board! The film is 78″ long. Hope that helps!
Hello! I’m wondering what the tabletop covering is? A custom made white mat? Also, are the flowers in the vase artificial? If so, where are they from? Room is so beautiful!!! Thank you!
