DIY Saturday – Drop Cloth Numbered Napkins

By Manuela Williams

Happy Weekend Everyone! We switched to cloth napkins a while ago. It’s just less expensive than buying paper and more environmentally friendly.  Here’s a great tutorial on how to  make some pretty ones out inexpensive drop cloths that you would buy at any big box store from Cottage In The Oaks.

    This is a great idea! I need to get a few drop cloths and do some projects I’ve thought of doing. Love the idea of making napkins from them. Thanks for sharing this today.

      Thanks! Glad you liked it! Drop cloths are great to use – you get so much “material”. I’m going to make these napkins next week but I think I’ll use the CitraSolve method since that’s what I already have.

      Drop cloths are so inexpensive you could make a ton of them. I like to use pretty things every day. Why save it or not use it just because it’s nice? Especially since you’re making these and not buying them. You can always make more!
