Craving renewal in a certain area of your home? Is there a room that’s feeling stagnant and needs a quick, easy change? Something really affordable, fun, and special that we love doing here at Sis Boom is stretching fabric over a large canvas and turning it into a quicky wall piece!
Here we used Poodle, to add a splash of color and geometric fun. (note, scale is not exactly the same as our fabric since this is a digital rendition). How pretty!
Materials: Fabric, Stretched Canvas, Staple Gun, Empty Wall, about 20 minutes.
- Pick up a large canvas (online or local craft store)
- Cut your desired piece of fabric- measure about 3 inches longer & wider than canvas
- Using a staple gun (careful!) stretch the fabric over the canvas and staple it in the back — Tip: This works best if you constantly stretch from opposite corners… in other words, stretch from the top – then staple, then the bottom – then staple, then right- staple, left- staple. Keep going around and stapling until you have a nice tight, even pull.
- Tap a nail in the wall
- hang up your masterpiece
- Viola!
