a striped tablecloth is my fave

I adore this tablecloth from Anthropologie but $100 isn’t so much in my price range. I decided to recreate the look for under $20 for all those upcoming picnics that in my head I pretend we’re going to have.

All you need is:
- a canvas dropcloth (available in a range of sizes from your local hardware store)
- masking tape
- fabric paint
- sponge brush

Tape. Paint. Dry. Don’t iron because it’s a waste of time and the crumpled look is so hot right now. Enjoy.

Also a warning that the paint might seep through the fabric a bit and get on your carpet and it doesn’t really come out that well so you might not be getting your security deposit back. Just a warning.

    What a lovely job you’ve done with this tablecloth! I’m about to do something similar with a drop cloth for this weekend – just don’t know what colours to paint it. I’ve got this linked to my tablecloths post as well today, for inspiration!

    Just dropping in from Inspire me Heather – and I love this. It will be a great idea for the late spring wedding that’s being planned here by the ponds.
