Creative Converting Touch of Color (line)

Its solid-color plastic tablecovers coordinate easily with party themes and make spill cleanup simple.

Not for: Those seeking washable fabric or plastic-free party supplies.

Size to table. The cover should measure the table length and width plus twice the drop you want on each side. For a round table, use the diameter plus twice the drop. Covers sold as one size often come up short on 6-foot or 8-foot tables.
Material. Use plastic for messy kids' parties, paper for dry crafts, and fabric for reuse. Paper soaks through with spilled drinks, while plastic wipes clean.
Thickness. Choose heavier-gauge plastic for outdoor tables, and secure it with clips. Thin film tears on table edges and blows away outdoors.
