We’ve been doing a lot of giveaways around here lately and I hope you’ve been enjoying them. I really do my best to offer up only top-quality items that I would want for my own family or home. Today is no exception. After spotting these lovely Scandinavian designed oilcloths on pinterest, I knew I had to have one – for you and for myself.
If you’re not familiar with oilcloth, it’s a waxed cotton that can be wiped clean over and over. Butik76 has a gorgeous modern collection that they sell by the yard. They are a beautiful way to protect a surface during meals and craft projects and can be used as a traditional tablecloth, a shelf-liner, or can even be tucked under a table, pulled taut, and tacked to the tabletop for a neat finish (an idea I love for inexpensive Craig’s List or IKEA finds – see all kinds of cool inspiration for doing this here).
It’s as simple as ordering the amount you need (they suggest a 5″ overhang on each side of the table). Because oilcloth doesn’t fray, there’s no hemming required and just like that you’ve got yourself a stunning and spill-resistant tablecloth.
If that isn’t the perfect product for modern parents and messy kids then I don’t know what is!
Butik76 sent me 2 yards of the Big Droplet Greige and I’m thrilled with the transformation that’s taken place in my eat-in kitchen. The neutral print has added just the right amount of modern chic to my traditional kitchen AND I no longer have to constantly worry about my wood table.
Before I wrap up and get to the giveaway rules, I wanted to point out that there are also several non-table cover ways to use this material (do a pinterest search for “oilcloth projects” and you’ll see what I mean). Check out these beach take-along pouches Martha Stewart Living made using Batik76 fabric in their August 2011 issue.
For your chance to win 2 yards of Butik76 oilcloth of your choice, simply leave a comment below. Additional entries are available for being an MPMK facebook fan or pinterest follower and for facebooking or tweeting about this giveaway. That’s a total of 5 possible entries.
YOU MUST LEAVE A SEPARATE COMMENT WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR EACH ENTRY METHOD.
This contest is open to U.S. Residents only and will end at midnight EST on Monday December 12th, 2011.

delicious!!! It would be so hard to figure out which pattern to choose if I won, but I will muddle through if necessary!
This is the best-looking oilcloth I’ve seen. I recently searched for some online and this company didn’t show up for me so I’m so glad to know about it! Would love to have some!! Thanks!
Extra entry…I’m now a pinterest follower!
I think the Big Droplet Blue is pretty neat.

Lovely post! I love oilcloth — I have one folded up in our markers/crayons/paper box and we use it as an art mat for our daughter when we color on the cork floor.
Oh yeah.. I see nice “eating at restrunt” bibs being made with this!! Hard to pick a favorite print thats for sure!
