Decorating with Drop Cloths

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.

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.
