This DIY fabric wall art project is super easy and you can customize it to fit your decor. Â Even better, the 3 DIY Fabric Wall Art pieces came in under $20. Also, the canvas and the fabric are reusable.
Here are the few items you need to start this project:
Stretched Artist’s Canvas 8×10 (or the size you prefer) Â http://bit.ly/2h9HIhB
Fabric of your choice (Fat quarter size is perfect)
Thumbtacks (Dollar Store)
First, iron your fabric if it’s wrinkled. Â Lay your canvas over the fabric and leave about two inches on each side of the canvas. Â Now take the fabric and pull tautly to the back and sides of the canvas. Â Use the thumbtacks to pin the fabric to the frame of the canvas. Â Additionally, you can use a hammer to gently hammer the tacks into the canvas framing. Â Remember to pull very tightly on each side of the canvas to ensure the fabric is not buckling. Â Lastly, trim away the extra fabric. Â (If you do not have thumbtacks on hand, fabric glue would work as well)
I used three canvas boards and they look awesome in my powder room. Â I left a link above for the artist’s canvas that are a great deal at Michael’s. Â Be sure to use a 40% or 50% off coupon. Â Here is a picture of the art in our powder room:
Finally, if you change your wall color, you can swap out your old fabric with new fabric to match your new decor. Â Just take a butter knife and slide it under the tacks to loosen and retack the new fabric onto the canvas. Â Not bad for three pieces of wall art under $20.
Oh and by the way, do not throw away any of the fabric pieces that you trimmed away. Â You can reuse it for making fabric twine, fabric washi tape and more. Â Happy crafting!
