Hola!
How are you all doing today?
I hope Spring is coming your way. It is finally nice, sunny, and Spring like temps.
Whoot! Totally inspires me to be creative.
I figured since I had a drop cloth out the other day, {I was actually making another drop cloth pillow}, coming soon…
I would whip out
some diy drop cloth spring polka dot napkins.
This stencil is so cute and Amy from Mod podge rocks asked me if I would give it a try.
She actually designed these herself. They can be used with mod podge, or paint.
Sure, I love stenciling, and polka dots are perfect this time of year.
That’s the stencil I chose, but as you can see there is a variety.
So let’s give them a try!
Best part is they are peel and stick, so very user friendly.
The little dabber makes it real simple.
Dip, dop and dap!
Not really, I just made that little lingo up. But really when you think about it, that is all you do. Lightly dip your paint dabber in
I put my craft paint on a paper plate, just a about a quarter size
dop the dapper
and just start lightly pouncing on the stencil.
Un peel and you have a cute polka dot pattern.
DIRECTIONS:
Cut drop cloths to size, I used a linen napkin as my template.
Make two folds to meet in the middle
Put stencil across, as I mention it is a peel and stick.
Stencil as directed.
I didn’t stop there. I thought what else can I add to the cuteness.
I got out my rit dye,
and dabbed this fun sunshine orange color on the drop cloth.
I of course had plastic under the drop cloth in order not to bleed through the other side.
Wait just a minute…
these need some stenciling on them too.
I used my new chalk pen I found at Walmart next to the crayon section.
It actually looks almost like it was bleached on the rit dye.
So cute!
I used a fresh Spring color of burlap to tie around them.
Now I have to set a Spring table to actually use them.
thanks for stopping by today.
Always happy to see you.
Hope you follow me around!
if you like drop cloth projects
I have a few 10 or more I have done
And I hope you give these new stencils a try too!
You can read more details on the stencils on Plaid Craft’s website here.

March 9 at 12:58 pmThese are adorable! Love the colors too ~
I’ve been helping my daughter and s-i-l pack and move the last couple of weeks. I cannot even begin to tell you how exhausted I am! This “older” body doesn’t do as well as my mind thinks it can. 🙂 We’re on the downhill side now.

Tracy says
March 13 at 4:30 pmThese are so cute! Be sure to zig zag the edges though so they make it through the wash! I work with drop cloth a lot and the raw edges tend to fray badly. Love them!
