Painting FloorclothsLet creativity reign! Express yourself using exciting painting techniques like stamping and decoupage to make fabulous floorcloths. They're a terrific alternative to a rug and can tie together a decorative scheme or provide the ultimate finishing touch to a room. Produce splendid designs in a rainbow of colors: replicate the appearance of bricks or marble, paint a jolly Santa Claus and celebrate the holidays in festive style, or come up with your own vision of a pond brimming with creatures and capture it in acrylics. Stencil glorious flowers that remind you of the pleasures of gardening, or a fun children's design such as big, bright balloons floating among fluffy clouds. Or get the kids involved and let them "handprint" a motif to jazz up their bedroom. Plus: information on preparation, planning a layout, and hemming, varnishing, and finishing a floorcloth. |
