🟦Doing Something New: Making Fabric Art

 



Needed:

Canvas
A fabric that you like
Ribbon
Mod Podge
Scissors
Stapler

1.  Paste the canvas thickly with Mod Podge.
2.  Place your fabric on the canvas, taking great care that you have it lined up straight.
3.  Trim the fabric around the outside of the canvas, making sure that you allow enough room for the fabric to be glued to the back of the canvas.
4.  Fold the fabric as if wrapping a present corner.  Find  the fabric that is not seen and trim it away very carefully.
5.  Paste the top and sides  thickly, wait til it is dry. (20 minutes or so).
6.  Smooth out any bubbles on the canvas and leave to dry (should take 20 mins).
7.   Paste again thickly and you can do it one more time after a ten minute wait if you like a more textured look.
8.  Attach a ribbon to the back with the stabler in order to be able to hang the picture.
9.  Add any embellishments such as glitter gems or fabric flowers for the final touch.
