I jumped on the dropcloth bandwagon a couple of months ago, when I made my bedroom curtains. Later on I used a dropcloth to do a very simple reupholstery job for a very large ottoman for a friend. But really, you haven't seen dropcloths until you've seen these!
Thanks to Miss M's inspiration, I decided to use my scraps (and I had just enough) to make a little slipcover for an old stool. I have a friend who wants a "French farmhouse" look, and I thought this would make a fun addition to her decorating!
I used painter's tape to mark out the stripes...
And I used my Cricut to make cardstock stencils for the numbers...
And I used my finger to do the painting. Hey, it's handy, and it's eminently washable!I know it's kind of an odd little project, but I like it!

Thanks for stopping by from DIY Showoff to see my dresser! I just love Miss Mustard Seed! She has the greatest things. I want to try slipcovers from drop cloths. That is a project for down the road! Love how your slip cover stool turned out!

What a darling stool cover. I have a thing for ruffles these days. Love that you used drop cloth material. I've made several out of dc and it really washes well. Love this! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, adorable! I'm in the process of making bar stool covers and I love this idea!
