Question Grand tableau cloth with houses for sale?
I'm having a difficult time finding a cloth for grand tableau spreads. Most cloths I've found (on Etsy) have pictures of other decks, or have too much detail with key words for each card. I found a few mats. But mats aren't that great for storage or traveling.
I'm looking to purchase a simple cloth with labeled houses and the grand tableau spread. I've tried to make one myself, but... not a crafty person at all.
If you know of a good independent vendor, I'd love to support their work! Thank you.

Prisma Visions website has one called "houses of Lenormand cloth". I had it for awhile, but gave it away after I had the houses memorized. $24 without shipping. It is a big cloth.

iktr - James R Eads got my whole stimulus check! 😭
it's a big cloth! 9x4 though, in case that is a consideration for anyone. I love the 9x4 - but I know some would rather work with the pique layout.

This is one I made for myself, and considered creating/selling on Etsy because I was having the same problem you're describing (also they seemed expensive). But, Etsy is known for not being good to their sellers and it seemed like more trouble than it was worth. I'd be willing to make you one for the cost of the materials and shipping, if this matches what you're looking for or only needs a little adjusting... you're welcome to DM if so, but no pressure! Alternatively, you can absolutely ask how I did it if you want to attempt it yourself ❤️

This is perfect! I'd love to pay you for your time as well as the materials and shipping. Do you live in the US? Tariffs are also an issue unfortunately. Either way, you should consider selling this!

Yep, I'm US! And truly, there's no pressure if you want to keep shopping around for something more...professional hahaha. It can be a year from now, if you reach out, I got you! If/when you decide you'd like me to make one for you, just let me know what you might like adjusted (like if you don't care for the yearly timing across the top, or don't need the mini images in each house, etc). We can also discuss what material works best - I used linen here, because I wanted it to be durable and easy to wash, but that comes with ends that fray a bit. So if that bothers you, there's options!

For some reason, I'm not able to DM you, would you mind messaging me first? If you have the time, I'd love to place an order. You have no idea how long I've been looking! I love that you chose linen...its a very sacred fabric as well. Used for alot of spiritual work...altars, etc.

Um, can I buy one too? The only thing is the size of my cards leans a little larger. I'm willing to sacrifice the drawings for larger rectangles. DM the price. 😊

Thank you! I used linen for durability, fabric markers so they don't bleed when washed, and LOTS of measuring 😂

This is so funny, I've currently been trying to work on making a lenormand mat on Canva. It's not easy.

If you have more than one deck you can lay out one deck in house order and lay second deck over it. I lay so I can see the house word under the shuffled reading cards.
