DIY: EASY WALL ART

Looking for a quick way to dress up a large wall space??  Well, I have the DIY craft for you.  Today I bring you fabric covered art canvases.  It is possibly the easiest project ever and really makes a statement in any room.

All you need:
- art canvases 
- fabric
- stapler



All you do is wrap the canvas like you are wrapping a Christmas present and staple the fabric to the back of the canvas, then hang on the wall.  Ta-dah!!  Easy, right?


You are left with a great collage of art that cost you little and took very minimal effort! 


P.S. I recommend looking in the upholstery section of fabrics at your local craft/fabric store.  I preferred the selection there over the regular cotton fabrics.  They are also more durable and have great texture.

Is this something you'd make?  If you do, please tweet me a picture at @mypolishedside!

And let's link up with Carly over at Lipgloss & Crayons for #YOLO Monday while we're at it. =)

Last minute link up with one of my favorite ladies, Amy, over at Coffee Beans & Bobby Pins for her new favorite post of the week Friday link up! Go check it out.
