I found this fabric a while ago and I LOVE the colors. I have been trying to decide just what to do with it. I knew I wanted something for our living room, but I wasn't sure what, until this idea came to me.
All you need:
A frame
Fabric strips
Sewing machine or your could use hot glue or fabric glue
The first thing I did was paint and distress my frame, it was boring old black, so I painted it red, distressed it and then finished with a glossy clear coat.
Then I cut a piece of cardstock that was same size as my frame and I cut strips the width of the cardstock. My fabric was already in strips because it was part of a jelly roll pack, but I did cut some of the strips thinner. Then lay out the strips so you can get the look you like.
Then start sewing (or glue) the fabric strips to the cardstock. Layer the next strip and sew and so on until the cardstock is covered.
Slip it into your frame and you are done! This could totally be done with just scraps and what it in your stash. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I am not a sewer at all. (That was supposed to say a sew-er, but it just looks like sewer, where the dirty rain water goes. oh well.) The point is, I don't really sew. But I have some fabric that has been the inspiration for our guest bedroom and I've been wondering how I am going to use it in the room since everything is based off of it. NOW I know! Thanks so much for this fun idea, it is something even I can sew!
