Roc-lon® Multi-Purpose Cloth™

If you have not used Roc-lon® Multi-Purpose Cloth™, I highly recommend this heavy duty fabric for a variety of stencil projects. The beauty of this fabric is that it cuts with a very clean edge, using scissors or an Xacto™ knife/craft knife. I typically find this fabric at my local JoAnn Fabrics store and almost always get it for 50% off with a coupon. It's 54" wide and runs around $20/yd, before the coupon. Here are some examples of how Roc-lon® can be used:

Roc-lon Panel

Panels, such as this one created by Susan Siefer, can be mounted to the wall with wallpaper paste. Masking pattern used by Modello Designs.

Roc-lon Floorcloth

Floorcloth by Carol Leonesio, Paint It!
Stencil from the Stencil Library.

Roc-lon Window Treatment

This window treatment was created by Carol Leonesio and Susan Siefer. A top and bottom pocket were sewn by folding the fabric over. Tension rods were then inserted into the pockets. This is a fixed window treatment, but shade/roller kits are available at fabric and craft stores.
