Cheap/2nd hand sheets - painting.

charlie_says · 2012-04-10 16:28:30

I'm looking to get a load of cheap or 2nd hand sheets for when I'm painting the inside of my house. Where would one obtain these? Thanks edit: or something else that would stop the paint getting on floor and furniture..?

When I did the front room a while back I just used old newspapers that you get free through the door.
Only cost was masking tape and paint/rollers/brushes.

Picked up a pack of 3 large plastic dustsheets in Woodies last week, can't remember the price but it was pretty cheap, a lot cheaper than buying sheets anyway! Perfect for painting... newspapers will work just as well if you have them but lots of taping and spreading out sheets, PITA when I did that before...

I've often seen blankets in charity shops, e.g. Simon on Sea Road - maybe you'd get sheets as well?
