Fabric Focal Point Art

Hey Friends! So I am still in the process of re-decorating our living room ;) big surprise right ;). So lucky for you guys I have a living room upgrade post!!

I have been thoroughly bored with our "above the couch decor". It had to go to say the least!

So.....Here is what I came up with!!

Check it ;):


Before:
{So "Vanilla" right??!!}

After:
{Much, much, much, better!}

Have you guys seen these at the thrift store??? I know you probably have I see them ALL the time!
{They are like 80's plexi-glass frames with a cardboard box to place through the back to secure a photo. I also added an Ampersand to my design that I had around the house from a previous project.}

Want to spruce up your lacking wall decor?

Here is what you need:

~80's Plexi-Glass Frames, or cardboard gift boxes
{I found mine at a local thrift store for $0.50!!}
~Fabric of your choosing

{These are the fabrics that I choose, do you recognize any of them? One is from the Ottomans HERE, the green damask is from the Pillows Here! Also check out the white and orange floral print fabric on the bottom! Its from a thrift store as well, it was a bed sham, guess what this gets cooler for both of the shams I spent $0.50!! Don't forget next time you go to the thrift store to check out their bedding! You never know what you are going to find!!}

~Hot Glue
~Scissors
~Measuring Tape
~Tape
~Nails to hang
~Ampersand if you like that look ;), I also painted mine in a high gloss white paint.
{I found mine at Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon for around $5.00}

This is how it's done:

1. Measure your cardboard backings to your frames or cardboard gift boxes.

2. After determining your measurements in the previous steps, take those measurements and use them to cut your fabric. Make sure that you add a little to overlap the cardboard to secure completely.

3. After cutting the fabric to your desired measurements in the previous step you are going to secure your fabric to your cardboard with hot glue. Just wrap the cardboard with the fabric like you are wrapping a present, and secure with the hot glue around the edges of undersides.

4. This is the last step of the putting togetherness of the project!

5. To hang up your 'fabric boxes' I took masking tape and placed it on the back, this way I could put the boxes on the wall and place them how I wanted them without putting a ton of nail holes in the wall!

6. After getting the position just right of your boxes go a head and nail them in place.

7. Step back and enjoy your newly revamped wall!

So what do you guys think?? Can I just say that this project was super duper simple and took like hardly any time! If you are looking for an easy peasy revamp for your wall you can't go wrong for the price either!

Thanks so much for stopping by friends! If you have questions about this project or just for fun don't hesitate to ask I am always happy to help! Hope you are having a great day! Love, love.
