This project actually happened on accident. I originally bought this black frame at ikea. They have them pretty cheap there. I brought it home to frame another project.. Anyway, that didn’t end up working out and the frame didnt come with glass. I was going to take it back until i saw a pile off fabric in my craft area waiting to be cleaned up. So this is what i came up with at last minute. I am sure this must have been done before. It just must have.. its soo easy. ITS SUPER EASY!!! Any sloppy bumbler could do it.
Find some fun fabric that you love. Either from your giveaway clothes pile, or even some you bought at a farbic store. I also used yarn to add a bit of rustic detail. Cut the fabric into strips… whatever size. They don’t have to have finished edges or anything.. It can be cut really sloppy. I actually think that “look” works for this. I obviously didn’t consider what fabric to pair together, haha. I didn’t really care. I just used what I had around the house.
THIS IS SO EASY!! Leave enough room in the fabric to tie around the backing of the frame. Tie knots with each stip of fabric that you use. I wound the yarn around the backing and then tied it as well.
This frame had those little metal bendy things. I bent all of them down to secure the fabric and the backing of the frame.
Pull all of the knots tight and make sure everything on the front is pulled tight and secured. Then turn it around and hang it up.
I really like this technique because its a really easy cheap way to spruce up a room on a large scale. and when your room changes you can change out the fabric and create a new wall hanging to match.
Dont laugh at our house.. It’s still a work in progress. Creating a home is a lot of work. haha Can you spot our pink horse? jk.
HOW EASY IS THAT? Do you think you will try it? Let me know if you do.. or will. Have fun

I love this! I think it would make a great headboard if you put 2 or even 4 together! I may have to give this a try! Thanks for the great idea!!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
That’s a lovely idea Promise! Only I already have quite a lot of stuff to do and now I feel like I need to try this out too. You stole the rest of my free time, haha.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I’m going to try this out TODAY! Thanks for making my empty evening a fun-filled one!
February 4th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
I love this! It looks awesome. Thanks for sharing; I am def. going to use this idea! And, by the way, my house is so incomplete, it’s ridiculous. I’m with you on “putting together” our house being tough!
February 4th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
You’re so crafty Promise! I LOVE this idea! It’s always fun using things you already have to spruce things up a bit
February 4th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
this is perfect. i never would have been so bold and confident to use those colors and patterns together and yet, it is perfect. i absolutely am going to do this with a small grouping of vintage frames we have.
p.s. i was SERIOUSLY channeling my inner Promise to do an art journal page…as part of my study in the book of revelation…i mostly used paint and grunged it up a bit..it was a bit of a stretch, but your work inspired me to go there.
when i post it, i’ll link you up. 
February 4th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
melissa,
are you working through just the book of revelation? or using a study guide or anything? i am looking for a study guide.
yes. i would love to see it. thanks for sharing. that is awesome.
February 4th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
this is rad!… i love it… i’m in the middle of re-doing a room as we speak and i am definitely going to make this and put it up! easy cheap way to fill up a big huge blank wall!! i love it! p.s. your house is adorable..i even love the mismatched chairs at the table… it works!
February 4th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Definatley going to give this a go! love it
February 4th, 2010 at 9:03 pm

February 4th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Don’t laugh at our house?!
February 5th, 2010 at 2:15 am
So, I’m totally loving this idea…I did this once with batting and a frame, but to make a picture board. I have a frame from IKEA too that’s just sitting on the floor of my craft room and TONS of scraps of fabric!
Thank you, once again, for the inspiration Prom! I wish I could live in your brain for just ten minutes ;P

Promise – I’m doing a “precept upon precept” inductive study…it’s pretty in depth, but I am loving it….if you do start studying revelation, you can check out this playlist i made for my quiet time of worship….focuses all on His coming, His glory and our desire to see and know Him. I heart worship! (http://www.playlist.com/playlist/19137160715/standalone)

So fun.
February 6th, 2010 at 4:33 am
prom, you inspire me.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Hey Promise, I love it! My whole house is a work in progress, and is on a tight budget so I’m forced to be more creative to fit into the guidelines of our budget. This is really a blessing in disguise because that is when I become more creative to fill in the gaps. I’ll have to send you pix of my projects sometime when I have taken pix. Keep up the inspiring work. U Rock!!
February 12th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Ive been looking for some type of creative SOMETHING to do in our living room (which is completely bare as of now because we just moved!) and I wanted it to incorporate some colors of this table we are painting. THIS IS THE PERFECT IDEA! I am SOOOO going to do some second hand shopping, find some fabrics that have similar colors, and go wild! Ill letcha know how it turns out =) Thanks for the idea Promise. You are a creative genius.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
love this, ive actually been making embellished greeting cards that look like mini versions of this with strips of fabric stitched onto cards. love the fabric choices
February 24th, 2010 at 9:15 am
So if I were to have sorta coppied your idea and made something quite similar is there some way I could send it to you to hang somewhere? Haha:)
March 1st, 2010 at 11:18 am

March 3rd, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Love, LOVE the wall art idea!!!
so cute and simple…gotta give this a try! TFS
March 12th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
This inspired me to take some old t-shirts that had great graphics and frame the graphic portion of the t-shirt. Just tied the excess of the t-shirt in a knot at the back. Fun to do, adds a great touch to our home… my husband really digs it!
May 2nd, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Hi, Promise! I DID IT! I created a piece of fabric wall art too! I thought I’d share with you my version…it was so fun and you’re so right- so EASY!
Thanks for all the fun “crafty crafty” ideas! <3
