Fabric covered canvas art is a super simple project that is quick and easy! It's easy to change the look with the season or theme. Plus, it's much safer to hang over a bed or crib because it's not so heavy.
This project only takes a blank canvas (or stretcher bars), fabric and a staple gun. If you want large art, it's much cheaper to use canvas stretcher bars instead of a blank canvas. The stretcher bars can be purchased at most craft stores. These bars snap together at the corners with a little help from a hammer. Stretch your fabric over the stretcher bars or canvas and use a staple gun. Start with the long side and stretch fabric to the other side of the frame and then finish up with the short sides. When you get to the corners with the fabric - fold the fabric (kinda like wrapping a gift) and staple. Scrapbook paper and wallpaper also make for great canvas art.

When my twins were little I painted all the walls and ceiling of their room with trees, a farm a pond and a search game.
We moved a year ago and I promised them that this spring we would paint whatever they like in their new rooms.
Your blog is wonderful and will be a great inspiration!
Thanks so much.
