How to Make a Floor Cloth

design process An eight-step process is used to make Creative Canvas floorcloths.It begins with priming the canvas. This shrinks the canvas which strengthens it. Then it is sanded to remove unwanted texture, and primed again. Next, it is cut to the desired size, hemmed at the edges, then backed so it won’t slip. The design is painted on by Sue. Finally, to protect the design, several coats of urethane are painted on, and a final coat of wax is applied. The finished floorcloth has the feel and suppleness of fine leather. design process

Floorcloths are tough and long-lasting, standing up to the punishment of every-day wear. To attest to the durability, Sue will tell you about the floorcloth she contributed to Designer’s Show House in Detroit. The show had 35,000 visitors. All of them had to walk across the floorcloth. After the show, they wiped it off, as good as new, and sold it. design process

Each Creative Canvas floorcloth is meticulously designed and created. Every step is done with great care, ensuring its beautiful look will last for as long as you own it.
