On a recent visit to one of my favorite places (soon to be told), I saw this plastic-coated fabric and decided some DIY Placemats were in order.  Can you say love?

Okay, so let’s talk about Ikea.  Oh boy…  this place has become my new $100 store.  I know some people love Ikea, while others hate it.  I was deprived of this stores goodness for so long, that I get a little giddy every time I make a trip there.  True story.  Thankfully, I don’t go on a regular basis. However, when I do, I’m going in for the kill.  Comfortable shoes and a phone that is fully charged (for pictures, inspiration and the location of furniture in the warehouse).  A cart to fill to it’s capacity.  HA!

The last time I was there, I kept spotting this fabric that resembled oil cloth and got a little curious. Sometimes I don’t know what’s being sold versus what is being used as a prop, so I just kept my eyes peeled and found it in the fabric department.  That happy place in IKEA where you get to pretend you were once an employee at JoAnns and can cut fabric like a pro.  Oh yeah!

I cut myself some of the plastic-coated fabric in Berta (White/Gray) and Sofia (Black/White) and made some of the easiest placemats you can imagine.

Supplies for DIY Placemats:

Rotary Cutter (mine is an Olfa)
Metal Ruler
Self Healing Cutting Mat
Plastic-Coated Fabric (aka Oil Cloth)

Cut and measure your fabric to the size you want your placemat.  Use your rotary cutter to cut, using the metal ruler and self healing cutting mat.

The making of a no-sew, wipeable placemats! livelaughrowe.comAnd you’re done!  Yep, it’s that easy.  If you don’t have an IKEA close by, you can check for it on-line. You can also shop for oil cloth or laminated cotton all around the web and in some of your local craft stores.

    Now that sounds too easy. I would like to do that as I got a new table and it sits six compared to my 4 place setting, so I had to get rid of tons of my placemats. So I love this idea. What fabric store did you use? The black and white I love them. Would be great Christmas gifts for people too.

      I think I know what type of fabric this is. It comes on rolls correct? Wow I can’t wait to get out and see what I can find. Right now I am stuck at home for another week, and then in a walking boot for two weeks. Which it is my right foot and if I can drive is going to be a challenge. Where left foot I could drive when I had the boot. Bunion surgery and two bones fussed. So I am going to try to drive with my foot and then put the boot on to go into the stores….lol
