10 Things To Do And Make With Wipeable Tablecloths
1. Play Mat
1. Play Mat
Paints, glue, glitter... all of these things have a magical appeal for children but can leave busy mums even more frazzled when they are left with a horrible mess to clear up afterwards. Wipeable tablecloths are waterproof so no glue or paint will seep through to the carpet or flooring below, making them the perfect floor mat for all kinds of craft activities.
2. Outdoor Cushions
If you have outdoor furniture such as rattan chairs, adding some cushions is a great way to create a comfortable garden seating area for summer. Indoor cushions however would rot if left out in all weather conditions so rather than having to always remember to bring your cushions back inside with you, sew some simple square cushions from pvc tablecloths and you can leave them outside all year round.
3. Apron
You do not need any sewing skills to make a fantastic, wipe clean apron from your old plastic tablecloths. Simply cut out an apron shape, punch holes at the top and sides and then tie on ribbons that will go around your neck and waist to hold the apron in place. You will look ultra chic, and you will keep your clothes clean too.
4. Shelf Liners
Simply cut your old plastic tablecloths to size and you have pretty, wipe clean liners for all your shelves and drawers.
5. Kite
If your tablecloth fabric is on the thin side it will be perfect to use to make a kite for your children. Craft a strong, diamond shaped frame from wood, plastic or metal and securely tie the vinyl fabric onto it. Add a length of strong ribbon or string and voila, a pretty and low cost kite the kids will love to play with when it is windy.
6. Shower Curtain
Wipeable tablecloths are waterproof which makes them perfect for turning into shower curtains. Simply hem the ends, punch regular spaced holes along the top and hang from your shower rail. If you are unable to find a shower curtain you like, you can even buy pvc tablecloths for this purpose rather than needing to use old ones.
7. High Chair Mat
Babies love to make a mess with their food and cleaning the floor after every meal is a time consuming task. Simply pop an old tablecloth under the highchair and any food or drink spills can be wiped clean in seconds, whilst protecting the wood or carpet below from stains.
8. Picnic Blanket
If you replace your tablecloth there is no need to throw the old one away. Simply roll it up and store it in a cupboard, then when summer comes around you have a perfectly sized, easy to clean and waterproof blanket for all those lovely picnics in the park.
9. Chair Covers
For those who love to sew, buy extra tablecloth fabric to match the piece you will actually use on the table, and turn the rest into matching chair covers. This will protect the chairs from spills too, as well as completely transforming the look and feel of your dining room.
10. Raincoat
Another one for those with sewing skills, wipeable tablecloths with a funky pattern are the perfect fabric to turn into a fashionable rain coat that will keep you dry and stylish throughout the April showers.
These are just some of the many things that you can make or do with
wipeable tablecloths. Why not turn your old
plastic tablecloths into a baby changing mat or a string of colourful bunting for a birthday party.
pvc tablecloths can even be used as wallpaper in the kitchen or playroom for a look that is totally unique and cheap to replace if it ever gets damaged. I am sure that you can think of many more creative ways to use tablecloth fabric, it just takes a little bit of imagination.
