If you are like me & love the vintage feel of old feed sack fabrics, here is an easy way to make your vintage-like material out of a drop cloth.

You can use the fabric for so many projects.

This project is perfect for re-upholstering a deconstructed chair, tea towels, pillow covers, and more.

Begin by cutting some lengths of your drop cloth.

If you want your fabric to look like authentic old feed sacks, you will want to stain or dye the fabric.

First, add a small amount of coffee grounds to the water. You may want to stain your fabric in a sink, especially with a larger quantity.

Budget $5000 See Tutorial

Use painter or masking tape to hold the stencil in the desired spot. In this instance, I am only using black chalk paint.

Place the stencil randomly along the fabric and use a light hand when stenciling some of the letters.

Here is what my completed length of fabric looks like. Notice that some areas appear faded with age.

I used mine to reupholster this $5.00 thrift store chair.

Left over fabric was used to make tea towels.
