Drop Cloth is all kinds of fabulous!  It’s versatile, functional, and fun to work with.  I’ve used it on my painted soap wraps, stuffed bunnies, and Easter bunny favors.  Today, I’m sharing a DIY Drop Cloth Table Runner as a part of an amazing Ready, Set, Paint Blog Hop brought to you by ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape and The Home Depot.   You’ll be able to check out some of the other participants projects at the bottom of the post too!

Supplies. DIY Drop Cloth Table Runner

The very first thing I did was wash my drop cloth.  I then cut it the length and width I had in mind.  I cut mine to approximately 65-1/2″ x 14-1/4″.  Keep in mind that if you’re going to fray the sides, you’ll want to cut a little wider and longer.  Now we’re ready to the get to the stenciling part of the project.

Preparing for Large Stripe on DIY Drop Cloth Table RunnerI started by taping the prep work for the wider stripe.  This stripe is 1/2″ thick.  Paint and remove tape.

    I rent so I’m trying to find some ways of personalizing my apartment that won’t be too expensive and are easy to return to as is.
