For instance, you can visit your local home improvement or fabric store and purchase plain painters canvas for around $5.99 to $9.99 per yard. There are several advantages in working with this material. The first is that this is a very durable fabric so if you have smaller children or pets it will withstand the wear and tear. Another advantage is that because this fabric is plain, you can add bows, stencil painting, embroidery, or whatever you like to enhance its look. When buying painters canvas, try to find heavy-duty, unbleached fabric made from cotton.
Many times, the pieces will come in a size perfect to fit over your couch without having to do anything other than add, a hem or two. Tablecloths are also great couch slipcovers that many people overlook. If you have a loveseat, chair, or ottoman, this would definitely be worth investigating. Since tablecloths come in all types of sizes, colors, patterns, and fabrics, you are sure to find something you like and that is functional for your needs. Start by looking at thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales. Many times, tablecloths will be sold because they have a small spot but if the tablecloth is being used to cover furniture, the spot may not matter.
