Lynn,

If you’re going to wash it, I recommend washing it several times – maybe with a little bleach. You can just wash it several times, or wash/dry wash/dry wash/dry. They come out of the wash very wrinkled and a little stiff. 🙂 I’ve washed and ironed a fair share of drop cloths! 🙂

good luck!

Hi Lynn
I I’m wondering if I should wash my drop cloth I love the look but I can’t take the smell. I bought the same brand that Gail bought….any ideas ?

Hi Gail ,
I love this look ! I love my new drop cloth curtain. I knew it needed a little something… I can’t take the smell though and I’m too afraid to wash it. Do you think if I washed it and I earned it would be okay?

Hi Gail, I tried to email you an answer to how well the painting will hold up on your curtains if washed. For some reason, the email didn`t go through. Soooo, if you heat set the paint with an iron, they are washable. I have even used a little bleach in the wash with my pillowcovers I had stenciled and they did fine.

Gail this is such a fun idea. The stamp really makes the curtains look extravagant. Why they look like they came from a high-end store. Great thinking.

These are so cute, Gai! When I used my roller stamps, I didn’t get such good results because I was trying to do a whole PANEL of curtain and not just the bottom and I couldn’t figure out how to overlap them so they’d look right. I like how you just did one pass, and used the other one on the top and bottom. I’ll give it a go again. These are super cute! I actually need curtains in my other room, so I’ll do this. 🙂 Sharing on my FB page!

Lynn,

When you heat set with the iron, does it make it washable? I’ve done printing on fabric (with a printer) and folks are always asking how to make it washable. . .
