Art Project

When I saw the post on How About Orange with directions on how to make a fabric panel wall hanging I know I’d have to try it.. In fact I just finished my 2nd one! It’s such a cheap and EASY way to add some colour or art to your home!

This is the first one I made for my house. On How About Orange, Jessica used art frames to stretch canvas, I couldn’t find any, anywhere. So I enlisted the assistance of my helpful husband and we made the frames ourselves out of wood we bought at home depot (LOVE that place, it deserves another post of it’s own).

That’s was taken at my parents house, before I hung it at home obviously.

And the 2nd one I just finished for Micaela and Kent’s house. She hasn’t even seen it yet! Here it is hung up on my wall at home.

These were so easy and quick to make. I would highly suggest it, if you are looking for a cheap art project!

Scott and I really badly need decorations for our walls. Since taking down the large Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations in our house the house (mostly livingroom) looks sad and undecorated. This is very unusual for me since through out university I always had the walls covered with pictures, art and things I clipped out of magazines. When I was in Ikea about 6 months ago I found a few things I liked, but didn’t buy them because I didn’t have a house then and didn’t know what colours the house would be. So now that we are settled I think it’s time to get some artwork on our walls! I don’t want anything too expensive but I think I want large prints so I need less… not really sure about that though. Here are a few that I’ve seen that I like:
