Items to Secure Your Tablecloth

A picnic in the park is great fun for the family. A springtime barbecue and reunion in the fresh outdoors makes everyone smile. It can disastrous, though if your tablecloth blows away or the wind picks up a corner and throws plates, cups and food onto the ground. Make sure you secure the tablecloth before adding any food, dinnerware or condiments to the table. There are several options to choose from that will make certain your tablecloth is secure.
  1. Tablecloth Clips

    • Tablecloth clips are available in a variety of styles such as spring loaded, adjustable or stationary. The spring-loaded clips can adjust to the table and keep a strong hold. Adjustable clips are made to automatically adjust to the width of the table. Simply slide this clip onto the table over the tablecloth and no other work is required. Stationary clips have an existing opening width, so the must be matched to the depth of the table's surface. This type of clip only secures the tablecloth according to its existing specific width.

    Tablecloth Weights

    • Enhance the aesthetics with tablecloth weights. If you have a theme for your get together, use weights that coordinate with the theme. Tablecloth weights clip to the corners of the tablecloth to hold it in place. These will secure your tablecloth and provide additional visual appeal. The weights may also become a topic of conversation for all of your guests.

    Tape/Tacks

    • If you are dealing with a wooden table, you can tack the tablecloth to the table on all four corners. This will secure the tablecloth to the table without the need for other products. Use tape on the underside of the tablecloth if the table is concrete or a solid material. You can secure the tablecloth without altering the appearance of the table or the cloth with tacks or clips.
