Can anyone suggest where I can purchase either a roll of butcher paper or precut butcher paper to lay over the tablecloth? Thank you.

I think that I have seen it at Costco, but I am not 100% sure.

For what purpose?

I was at Union Street in Old Town Alexandria on Monday, and saw that the restaurant lays a sheet of butcher paper over a nice white tablecloth.

My reason for asking would be to essentially copy was is done at the restaurant. I would use the butcher paper to lay over the tablecloth of an antique drop leaf table. I have a fourteen month old daugther and think that if the table was property protected, I could place a few crayons in front of her and let her color.

Do you have any suggestions?

How about printless newspaper that you use for wrapping when moving?. Available at any box or U-Haul store. Cheap too.

Isn't there a restaurant supply store somewhere in Washington, DC? I would guess that if there were, it would be the best place to get it.

Try an arts & crafts store like Michael's or A.C. Moore, or a store that sells teacher supplies. The have big rolls of plain paper.
