For a very special Mother's Day, I arranged a floorcloth class for my mom and me.  My mom is so very artistic, but with the hustle and bustle of the business world she has had no time for such "luxuries."  Lake Arts studio custom created the perfect Mother's Day present--not only did we walk away with a beautiful product, but more importantly we shared in creating something together--something we had not done in years!  Narda was wonderful in guiding us through a process we had never done before and yet made us feel free to explore our creativity.  Thank you for the best Mother's Day present--for me and my mom!!!!

 What you need to make a floorcloth.

 1. canvas to paint on  (pre-primed saves time)

 2. latex paint for your background or field color 

 3. acrylic paint for decorative colors

 4. HemSet Tape for hem, the easy way (we also have E-6000 glue) 

 5. Right-Step water based varnish (matte or satin)

 6. Bowling Alley Wax, protective finish (a non-yellowing paste wax)
