#1 project for fall

FABRIC COVERED CANVAS FRAMES:

STEP ONE: cut your focus fabric 7-10" wider and longer than your canvas frame


STEP TWO: pull fabric tightly over the back of your canvas and staple in place. *(tip: start in the middle of each side and work your way out to the corners-pull it tight)



STEP THREE: finish the corners and proudly hang it on your wall


variations: use this process to cover a corkboard for fashionable organization or go green and cheap by recovering an ugly old painting canvas from goodwill (or your own basement). different sizes of canvas and fabrics can change the look of your project for the perfect combo
