Activity: Oilcloth Crafts
Oilcloth is useful for more than just tablecloths and shelf liners. If you know how to sew, you can make a lot of different things out of oilcloth!
Its coating makes it durable, which means it’s a great fabric for items you’ll use often.
Consider the following craft projects that use oilcloth.
- Bags: You can find tons of patterns online to make bags out of oilcloth, including reusable grocery bags, weekenders, bike bags, makeup bags, totes, and lunch bags.
- Aprons: You can make adult- or child-sized aprons out of oilcloth. By making your own apron, you can customize it to your needs with as many pockets and straps as you want!
- Cases: Use oilcloth to make a protective case to store your e-reader or tablet when you aren’t using it. You can also make pencil cases from oilcloth.
- Chair covers and cushions: Covering a chair or cushion with oilcloth will add some water resistance, which is great for outdoor furniture in particular.
