Now here’s a really green project. My friend Diane lives in frosty upstate NY. The floor in the kitchen of her old farm house was needing repair, so she came up with this fun, crafty way to disguise it until she can put the needed time aside to repair it. Using an old tent that had become un-useable, she first I stretched the fabric and stapled it to a board. Then primed it with an interior latex primer, chose and painted the design, again using interior latex left over from previous projects, hemmed the fabric mat by folding under 1 to 2 inches with a fabric glue (or white glue) and finishing it off with 2-3 coats of water based polyurethane. And voila, instant floor cloth! Durable, great looking and completely free since she had all the materials at hand… Brilliant.
