Synopsis: Create distinctive floor coverings to match your home's decor

Canvas floorcloths are an inexpensive way to add style and beauty to any room in the house.

Whether your style is contemporary or Victorian, elegant or whimsical, a custom-designed floorcloth will transform your ordinary floor into a work of art. And you can do it yourself - it's fun and surprisingly easy.

In Fabulous Floorcloths you'll find projects for all skill levels - from the novice crafter to the experienced artist. The complete easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step illustrations help you create exactly what you want. No more paying high prices for custom carpeting or area rugs - canvas floorcloths are inexpensive to make and long-lasting.

Choose from the 15 projects included or design your own to suit your individual style.

Techniques include:

   •  Stamping and veining
   •  Painting
   •  Stenciling
   •  Lattice
   •  Paper decoupage
   •  Paper and fabric applique
