An encapsulated fabric material and method of making the same is described. Specifically, the encapsulated fabric material comprises a sheet of plastic affixed to each side of a fabric. A preferred type of plastic is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A method of affixing a sheet of plastic to each side of a fabric is also described. In a preferred embodiment, each sheet of plastic is affixed to the fabric by an adhesive, such as glue. However, any suitable adhesive or adhesive method may be used to affix each sheet of plastic to the fabric. The material is then heat-pressed to seal the fabric and sheets of plastic together to form the encapsulated fabric material. The material may then be polished to clean the plastic and to provide a smooth, even finish to the material.
