Painters canvas drop cloth is one of my most favorite materials to use when I am working on home decor projects. You may wonder why I love it so much. Basically, its for its versatility. There are so many ways to transform this material. Over the years I have created many projects. I thought it would be a great idea to share what I have done in the past and I have 8 super easy painters canvas drop cloth project ideas that anyone can do!
Sometimes I get an idea in my head about a project I want to do, and often times it involves some type of fabric. I live in a small town where we do not have access to stores where I might be able to purchase anything I might need. Because of this, I have to be creative and flexible when I am working on a project, especially if it is a spur of the moment project. So, I have to dip into my project stashes at my home. And something I always have in my stash is painters canvas drop cloth.
