Fabric covered canvas are easy unique ways to add a
personalized touch to any nursery. Below are step by step instructions on how
you can create your very own personalized fabric covered wall art canvas for baby.
FINISHED PRODUCT:
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Artist Canvas – size is completely up to you – I used a 11” x 14” canvas for this project
- Fabric – select fabric to match décor of nursery ( patterned, solid color, and scrap fabric)
- Staple Gun
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Sewing Pins
- Needle & Thread
- A Button
- Sewing Machine
SELECT IMAGE FOR FOCAL POINT OF ARTWORK:
I selected and sketched an elephant for my focal point;
well suited for the décor and theme of my nursery. (See sketch below). One can
be creative and select various options based on your décor and theme, for
instance perhaps a sketch of a boat, rose, car, or bear would be appropriate
for you.
PATCHWORK:
- Cut out selected focal point image and glue to solid color fabric
- Randomly glue scraps of fabric to image creating a patchwork design
- Utilize needle and thread by hand sewing around the contour of focal point image. This creates definition and a fasten reinforcement to solid color fabric
- Sew on button in place of the eye
- Pin patchwork design to patterned fabric
- Using a sewing machine, select a stitch design of your choice and adhere patchwork to patterned fabric by sewing around its board.
- Once patchwork is secured to patterned fabric, wrap fabric around canvas, and staple down using staple gun.
VOILA! THERE YOU GO:
Completed wall art for
your Nursery! Enjoy!
