So I was able to get one of my ideas done during nap/rest time this afternoon. I found these at Target a few weeks ago and really just couldn't pass them up-I had to be able to do something with them I thought! They are 60" round oil cloth tablecloths that were on sale for $1.48! Here is my first idea (I have one more left which I plan to make a few aprons out of). But today I wanted to make a drop cloth for the floor to go under "Miss Dropsies" high chair-as I am getting tired of feeling like I should mop everyday due to the nastiness that lives on the floor to the sides of her chair. So this is what I came up with....
Two 60" Table cloths made 4 drop cloths and 4 bibs-all that for $3.00 and about 1 hour!!
This is the finished drop cloth...a few more feet of space for the food to fall too...now if she starts throwing food we have a different issue...
1. Fold your tablecloth in half and cut at the fold....

2.Take a bib and place it in either corner-cut out a piece on either side of your 1/2 circle that will be big enough to trace the bib shape...
2.Take a bib and place it in either corner-cut out a piece on either side of your 1/2 circle that will be big enough to trace the bib shape...
3. Trim the edges to make your cut outs less drastic of a line (you can zig-zag stitch the edges later-but you don't really have too)
4. Place the cut out pieces together wrong side facing each other-pin the bib you are using as a pattern to the top of one of the right sides and cut out the shape....
Here is what it looks like folded up under the high-chair for storage:) 
You are SO creative! I love it Natalie!
