{canvas dropcloth for your table}

Well, this is me making lemonade out of lemons. Have you ever had a fabulous idea, that just didn't quite work out? That happened to me today. I had the vision. I bought the materials. I even had some unexpected quiet time this morning. It didn't take long before it was scrapped.

I still had this perfectly good canvas drop cloth just sitting there, and I was determined to use it. (Look for another project later this week.) This is what I came up with, and I love it! I had originally thought about doing a table runner, which would be darling, but I know my kids well enough to accept that it wouldn't be practical quite yet.

ITEMS YOU NEED:

• canvas drop cloth (I bought mine at Home Depot)
  
• ribbon
• heat 'n bond
• scissors
• foam stamps
• craft paint

DIRECTIONS:

I used the same method for the outlining ribbon as I did for my burlap tic-tac-toe game, and it went so quickly--about 30 minutes. Once your ribbon is on, apply paint to the stamp using your finger (you can control the amount of paint more easily), then on to the canvas. Let dry, and you're done! Have fun with the words--you could even use seasonal or holiday words or phrases, and a last name would be darling too.

Have a great day!
