This is what will make it waterproof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to cut the plastic sheet to size is to find a large, clean floor area where you can lay out your plastic material. This product is sold by the metre at Lincraft and is available in a thick or thin version. I bought 2 metres of the thin plastic as it is still durable while also being easy to fold\/roll (and you&#8217;ll see why this is important soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, place your throw blanket on top. Line up the corners on one end and cut a straight line where the throw blanket ends to remove excess plastic. To save time on measuring, I simply placed the throw blanket on top and folded the plastic at this point to create a guide of where to cut \u2014 it doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect but if you want perfect, you could also grab a measuring tape and texta \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lay out plastic and cut to size\" class=\"wp-image-43722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-696x1047.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-1068x1606.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-279x420.jpg 279w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size-300x451.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Lay-out-plastic-and-cut-to-size.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Find a large, clean floor area to lay out your plastic sheet <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cut plastic to size\" class=\"wp-image-43721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cut-plastic-to-size.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Where the throw blanket ends, cut a straight line to create your plastic backing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-hammer-press-studs-in-all-corners-of-the-throw-and-plastic\">Step 2: Hammer press studs in all corners of the throw and plastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to add press studs. These are stud pop buttons like those often found in clothing. I opted for bronze press studs as I liked the muted metallic finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>By fastening the plastic to your throw using press studs, you&#8217;ll be able to easily remove the throw blanket from the plastic when you need to pop the blanket in the wash.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the instructions on the kit and layout all the parts to make life easier for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then use your hammer to add press studs to all 4 corners of your throw blanket and plastic backing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each corner of your picnic blanket will use 4 pieces. You&#8217;ll attach 2 pieces to the top layer (the throw blanket) and 2 pieces to the bottom layer (the plastic backing). I used the prettier bronze buttons for the top layer (parts A and B) and the inner part of the stud (parts C and D) on the plastic backing. This step will make more sense when it comes time to adding press studs, just follow the packet instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the size of your blanket, you may also like to add extra press studs along the length. I did this on the two longer sides.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-1000x666.jpg\" alt=\"Working out press stud pieces\" class=\"wp-image-43720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-1000x666.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Working-out-press-stud-pieces.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Open your press stud kit and work out what parts are what<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Add press studs to all corners\" class=\"wp-image-43719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Add-press-studs-to-all-corners.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hammer press studs to all 4 corners of your picnic blanket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Clip rug and plastic together\" class=\"wp-image-43718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Clip-rug-and-plastic-together.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You will end up with a pretty stud button on the top of your throw that can fasten to the stud on the plastic backing <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-clip-it-together-and-roll-it-up\">Step 3: Clip it together and roll it up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your waterproof picnic rug is done! All you need to do is clip the plastic backing to the throw and roll it up. Now it&#8217;s ready to take on your next picnic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hack to make a waterproof picnic rug was inspired by wanting a soft and comfortable picnic rug that&#8217;s large enough for the family to sit on. And that didn&#8217;t cost the world. Or look hideous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could use the technique in this tutorial to turn any throw blanket you have at home into a waterproof picnic rug for about $20. The plastic backing is $7 per metre and press studs cost about $9 per packet.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Roll it up for your next picnic\" class=\"wp-image-43717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Roll-it-up-for-your-next-picnic.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Has this DIY inspired you to make a waterproof picnic rug of your own?
