DIY Jungle Vines from Plastic Tablecovers – Shipwrecked VBS Decor
These budget-friendly DIY Jungle Vines made from plastic tablecovers are perfect to hang throughout Shipwrecked VBS! They’re quick and easy to make, plus they add bright color to your space!
This is one wall in our foyer. We hung green paper, then added several colors of jungle vines at the ends of the wall.

This year’s VBS theme is Shipwrecked {learn more about the theme here}. The VBS kits are available now. All of our VBS resources are designed to be used alongside any of the Group starter kits, although I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the ultimate version with digital.
Check out the step-by-step instructions below. At the bottom of the post, you can download and print an instruction sheet to use with your team!
DIY JUNGLE VINES
Supplies
Plastic tablecovers (you can usually find these in store at Walmart or Dollar Tree for $1)
Scissors
Instructions:
1. Unfold the tablecloth BUT NOT ALL THE WAY. Just open it until it’s roughly 10” wide and 9’ long.
2. Cut down the sides of the tablecloth (so each layer is now its own piece). Leave them in a stack though!
3. Cut diagonal lines in each side of the tablecloth, about every 8”. The diagonal lines should all point toward the ground.
That’s it! Easy, right?!

I am a long-time Vacation Bible School lover. I’ve lead in several capacities throughout the VBS world and am currently our church’s VBS director. It is a joy for me to be able to share VBS ideas and resources with others! I will continue to share VBS ideas here as we prepare for Shipwrecked VBS. Follow the blog to see more of our ideas and planning! Please let me know if there are any specific VBS items or ideas you need help with!
So what do you do after you cut it? How do you open and hang them. It’s not on the instructions
Sorry it wasn’t clear! You won’t have to open them at all – there will just be a stack of vines cut. We just stapled them at the top using 1-2 staples per vine. You can attach them with tape if you’d rather!
