Coming Soon...

I have some great news, Oilcloth Addict will soon be selling the new Oilcloth from Anna Marie Horner's Good Folks!!! I am thrilled to get my hands on this sweet stuff. The best thing about the new oilcloth, besides the gorgeous colors and patterns, is that this stuff is 55 inches wide. You know what that means don't you? That means fabulous tablecloths in a snap!!! As I understand it this will not be as stiff as Mexican or European oilcloth, so it will be have better drape. I will fill you all in once it get it in, I am so making a tablecloth the day it gets here.

Also coming up this week is a weeks worth of DYI projects! I will walk you through organizing my pantry with fun oilcloth and chalk cloth projects. See you on Monday!

Curing Chalk Cloth



For best results you need to prep your chalk cloth before use. To cure your new chalk cloth simply lay a piece of chalk on its side on the chalk cloth surface, and rub all over, side to side and then wipe clean. Now, do this one more time rubbing your chalk up and down. Wipe it clean one last time and the chalk cloth is now ready for use. Grab some chalk and have a blast!
