Fabric Canvas DIY project!

Looking for an inexpensive yet crafty way to spruce up a drab room in your home? Try this easy, do-it-yourself project for a few new decorative wall pieces! Start by finding a fabric that you love; maybe something that coordinates with your wall color or pillows. (Robert Allen and P. Kaufmann are two textile companies that have trendy and interesting fabrics each season!) Make sure you purchase enough fabric to cover the entire canvas. Then all you’ll need to get started is staple gun, scissors, and a canvas, all of which can be bought at most craft stores. Find the composition that you want to show within the fabric and smooth out the cloth. You may have to iron it, depending on the type of fabric, but stretching it tightly on the frame will remove many of the minor wrinkles. Then all you have to do is staple it to the canvas frame! Start by placing a staple in the center of each side of the frame. Work out toward the corners, adding only a few staples to each side before moving to the next. The corners can be neatly folded and stapled to the backside of the frame. Viola! A there you have it! A simple, inexpensive and quick way to display some of your favorite textile prints and liven up a drab room!
