Allow 2-3 inches of fabric around the entire frame. Place your newly constructed frame on top. Wrap the canvas: Lay down your fabric upside down. Use your cute assistant as needed – just make sure they don’t get their fingers near the hammer!ģ. Continue nailing until you’ve created a frame. My goals were to make sure the structure was secure and as even as possible. I do the best I can, but I’m not going for perfect here – you can see where my sticks aren’t perfectly aligned and one nail started to curve. Hammer each nail into the sticks, keeping them as aligned as possible. My panel was big, so I laid the pieces on the ground for stability.
Make the frame: Using two nails on each side, line up the 1x2s according to your design. I made several of these mistakes during my first DIY fabric panel attempt.Ģ. Measure and cut fabric, taking into account 3 things: the orientation of the fabric design (does the design look best vertical, and you plan to hang it horizontally?), add 3-4 inches extra for wrapping and outdoor wall decor needs weather resistant fabric. These pieces should not be very expensive. Most home improvement stores will make the cuts for you. Cut the 1x2s to the dimensions required, making sure to allow for the 1/2 inch width of the stick. Design your fabric panel + assemble materials: Measure the space in which you want to hang your fabric panel. Fabric (weather resistant for outdoor wall decor use)ġ.Stapler (yup, your standard household stapler will work just fine!).Ask the guys at the hardware store to help cut if needed! For the three canvas frames, I needed 5 bars (which were $0.98 each) 1×2 Lumber, sometimes called Stretcher Bars: cut according to your design size.What You’ll Need To Make Fabric Wall Hangings So I took to Plan B and made 3 extra-large fabric wall hangings instead.
But I was stumped on what to do about the empty wall space above the couch? I originally envisioned some great piece of art but that wasn’t happening anytime soon. They fill the space nicely and the couch is actually quite comfortable. This is the room our older furniture wound up (for now). Since we don’t typically use this room, we didn’t want to pour a bunch of money into it. This all started with this fairly large wall in the “formal” living room of our home…basically, the room that guests walk into as they enter our home. *Update: It’s been two years since I made these modern wall panels and they are holding up great! I even hung our Holiday JOY Ornament Craft on them this year and it was beautiful! So let’s get to it and make some fabric wall panels DIY! In fact, after I made this set of 3 DIY fabric wall panels, I decided to use weather resistant fabric to create an outdoor wall panel for our backyard patio! I think it creates the perfect spring backdrop and they’re easy to change out for every season.
Using fabric to cover walls series#
I also love how these upholstered wall panels can take any shape and size, allowing you to customize each series to be unique. Fabric wall hangings are modern and beautiful, can be customized to your exact style and are great ways to decorate large/tall walls that would otherwise need huge budgets to fill.
Seriously! Making fabric panels for walls is not just easy, but also an inexpensive way to decorate your empty wall space.
