Fabric Canvas Wall Art

While perusing fabric for my living room drapes, I fell in love with this beauty. 

I love the lime greens, the whimsy of the birds and how the gray keeps it from looking too feminine even though it’s a floral print.  In an effort to showcase this fabric somewhere in my home, I decided to incorporate it into our dining room design by turning it into a piece of art. 

Ultimately, I think I will add two square mirrors to either side of the art as well as neutral drapes so that I can change out the art and runner as the mood strikes.

To make mine, I used:

• Fabric
• Canvas
• Iron
• Spray Adhesive (optional)
• Staple gun
• Teeth and nails (for hanging)

I started by ironing my fabric to remove any wrinkles.

  I used a 50 x 40 inch canvas because I wanted a large piece.

I figured out where I wanted the fabric to lay, then sprayed a light coat of spray adhesive to the canvas and covered it with my fabric.

Then I began stapling the fabric to the wooden frame.

  

After all sides were stapled, we added teeth to the back for purposes of hanging.

  

And then hung her up!

I also made a coordinating runner with stitch witchery for the table. 

It’s feeling so springy in here right now!  Can’t wait to add the mirrors, drapes, rug, sideboard . . . ha!   Always a work in progress!

But looking so much better than what we started with!
