Decorating with Drop Cloths

DIY
Written By Susan Newberry

I've been working on drop cloth window treatments for the past week.  Since there are three windows, that means 6 panels.  I thought I would take a break and share a few drop cloth ideas I found.  Canvas drop cloths are great because they're inexpensive (about $11 for 6' x 9'), strong, large, and look very similar to linen!  The possibilities are endless.

1. Drop Cloth Tablecloth:  This one has words in different fonts.  Make it any theme that you want.  Since drop cloths come 6' x 9', you  have plenty of fabric to work with.  Just use a broad tip Sharpie Marker for the words.

2. Drop Cloth Placemats:  For complete instructions, click on the link below the picture.

 
3. Upholster a Chair with a Drop Cloth
 
 
4. Drop Cloth Pillow: This one has ruffles.  For a tutorial, just click the link below the picture.  I love this one.  I am definitely going to tackle this one.
 

 
5. A Drop Cloth Shower Curtain:  This one is stenciled.  For a complete tutorial, click on the link below the picture.
 

 
6. A Drop Cloth Table Runner:  I love this.  Simple, easy, and quick. For a complete tutorial, just click the link below.
 
 
7. A Tufted Drop Cloth Ottoman: I have to say this project has left me speechless.  It's absolutely beautiful!  There is a very detailed tutorial if you're brave enough to try it!
 
 
 
8. Drop Cloth Art: Simple and cheap and looks great too!

 
 
I love all these projects and they are just a few of the project I found online.  Soon I'll share my drop cloth window treatments with you with complete instructions.  If you have a favorite drop cloth project, I'd love to hear about it.
 
Now back to work...
 
Thanks for stopping by...
 
Until next time,

Hi, I’m Susan! I’ve spent the last 10 years building my online company. I’ve always loved everything to do with design. In fact, after raising my kids, I decided to go to school and get my degree in Interior Design. While running my own interior design company, I started teaching and found that teaching was what I really loved. Combine that with Interior Design and well, you could say I was on cloud nine. I always loved the technical side of design which led me to graphic design and after studying graphic design, I was encouraged to open an Etsy shop to sell some of my creations. With my attention to detail and being somewhat of a perfectionist, graphic design made perfect sense. In December of 2018, I decided to retire from teaching and devote myself full time to my business and I haven’t looked back since! I love designing art for the home and would love to create something special for you.

It’s true what they say, “Love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life.”
