After going through all the trouble of free handing a very nice design on it that I am very happy with. I proceeded to paint about a third of my rug with the oil based poly before i realized my mistake and i am really hoping that I haven't totally ruined it?! Laura, you did say that the oil based poly would take forever to dry,and that it would discolor the fabric (which it did) but if I'm willing to wait for it to dry and I'm ok with the darker color, do you think it will turn out ok? (Will it always be oily?) I really don't want to scrap it and start over! PLEASE HELP!

I have had one in front of my stove, so it gets lots of wear AND grunge, for 19...yes 19 years. It was made with canvas and has 3 coats of poly on top only. It still looks just like it did when I laid it down. It gets mopped when I mop my kitchen. So if properly done I think they could last a lifetime. It also has been peed on by my Yorkie and cleans right up. So it is a great option for those of us with pets that just loooove to pee on a rug!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219824762792223796.post-33155200044245246682015-06-13T10:38:16.884-07:002015-06-13T10:38:16.884-07:00I was on Pinterest when I came across this fantast...I was on Pinterest when I came across this fantastic tutorial.

Unfortunately, I don'...@Anna....great question! Unfortunately, I don't think it would work as a 'regular' table cloth once it's been coated with the poly, as the fabric becomes quite stiff and does not drape over the edge of a table. But if you have a wood pic-nic style table or something other than glass that can 'accept' staples from a staple gun, you could staple the cloth on the underside of the table and use it that way. I have done that with oilcloth, which is also easy to clean and might be easier/less stiff to work with. If you chose a thinner fabric, that might also lend itself to 'draping' better. for floorcloths, I recommend the heavier the fabric the better, but in this instance, maybe something thinner ( a quilt weight cotton?)could work. Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by!<br />~LauraLaura/Hayestone/Design Sharehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540466048862854216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219824762792223796.post-52526686389460941122013-06-02T10:57:59.857-07:002013-06-02T10:57:59.857-07:00Do you think this would work as a tablecloth?

Might sound like a stupid question, but I have an unsightly table on my covered patio, and I need to find something that can cover it and stay there for the summer - i.e. is easier to keep clean than regular fabric, and will clean up easily after messy barbecues. Would the fabric still drape similarly to a tablecloth after it's been coated?Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219824762792223796.post-46625387321617473182013-05-01T07:24:08.312-07:002013-05-01T07:24:08.312-07:00this is a really cool idea.

Love your blog. I decide to try this today. I...Hi!! Love your blog. I decide to try this today. I luckily have a rug pad. So my list..tablecloth, polyurethane and a brush. My goal is to spend under 20. I too found a great deal at Target. 8.08. I'm on a roll. I also needed groceries. So Wal-Mart ..Here I Come. Polyurethane for 6.97 and a brush for 3.48. Way under goal. Let me say this..Your explanation is clear. I decided to find the cheapest of everything. First attempt was an oil based. I just didn't read. I'm lazy. (found a great brush though). I go back to Target ...had more of this great deal. still being lazy decided to go back to Wal-Mart and found a waterbased. This was all they had and was 16.97. So what I decide ... What the hell? I get home I feel confident. I roll it on....Well 4 hours later some of it doesn't dry clear. I used to much... Anyway I had soooo much fun doing this. I wanted to share. <br /><br />PS. My boyfriend loves it ....said it gives it character. (almost like a drop cloth. if I was a painter. which o am totally not).
