DIY Drop Cloth Project Ideas

Canvas drop cloths are super cheap, super sturdy and easy to find.  You can get them at home improvement stores as well as big box stores that have paint departments.  They come in a bunch of different sizes too.  I like to wash and bleach mine before I use them.  You can find instructions on how to do that in this post :  15+ Things you can Make with Canvas Drop Cloths.   I’ve put together a selection of new (or at least new to me) projects from some awesome bloggers to inspire you!

Check out these projects created by my blogging friends!
