Drop Cloth - The other Fabric of Choice!

Crafts

It has great strength, great texture, great price in fact I have only great opinions of well, you guessed it a painters drop cloth! You can buy them at dollar stores, Wal*Mart, hardware stores…just about anywhere. Throw them in the washing machine, bleach them if you like, dry them with a little bounce and you’ve great a sweet smelling, soft, perfect large piece of fabric. My mind is so full of ideas for the magical drop cloth, but here’s my first project: Washed and ready! Use a stencil, painters tape and pencil to create your art. Choose a paint to match your decor. Any word is good! Some words are better! If you run out of words, just tape up some meaningless stripes! Place them in a desired location. They’re going to love it here! :) Or they might love it better over here! I’ll be over at Blue Cricket Design! Taking a Risk over at: Nesting Place The DIY Show Off

Debbie these are just fantastic! I gotta tell you that as I scrolled through the links at the party your thumbnail just popped off the page! No surprise as your photos are always so gorgeous as are the subject matter. :-) I love the colors and how bright and cheerful everything is. Thanks so much for sharing them at the Block Party!

Love this idea. It caught my eye with the Auburn pillow. (My husband got his MBA from Auburn.) I think I will have to make a Georgia pillow instead for me for UGA! Anyway this is so creative just love it!
