converting dining table (felt/foam/design suggestions)

[jalsing]

How'd that witchery tape work out? I made a pokercats style drawstring top too, but I didn't want to hem the whole edge and instead put like 20 eyelets around the fabric. It worked great, but it only pulled in those 20 spots, and the "in between" fabric just hung down and mostly just didn't look right. I didn't even know that tape existed, else I might have gone that route instead.
