I think it would look really nice if you covered a (painting)canvas with it. I would just staple it on the back, pulling the material tight, and put a frame around that. Or if your edges look really nice you could leave the frame off and hang it. (That is pretty material!)

That is exactly what I would do, what Amberscu said. That way it won't get droopy, if it's attached on all sides.

If you didn't want to do that, you could apply a liquid starch to it to stiffen it up and stretch it out until it was hard and dry and then pop it into a frame, but I think the first way would be easier and faster.

That fabric is perfect with that chair! I feel like plopping right down in there!

Thanks for the info...that was kind of what I thought, too. Amazingly, I found this fabric at Beverly's on the remnant table for about $5.97/yd and on the edge it says it's "An Original Copyright Design". I've never seen or heard of that before but then I haven't shopped for fabric in years.

If I starched it, would I use a spray starch? I'm not sure what you mean by 'liquid starch'???

Liquid starch comes in a bottle, Suzie, in the soap/laundry aisle. Saturate your fabric and wring out the excess, first, before laying it out to dry. You could even apply the fabric straight to the wall, but I think framed would be nicer.

If you use the starch, test it first on a scrap.

I stretched some pretty fabric in small canvas type frames (different sizes) I made myself and they are still there 12 years later!

or you can frame it in quilting or embroidery hoops..

I got a ton of hoops & several many upholstery swatch books!

HTH - Hope this helps...

Thaqt WOULD be pretty - especially with the round frames and the square print!

What you need is to head to Hobby Lobby or an art supply store and ask for canvas stretcher bars. You by them in pairs to get just the size you want. I have linked to one put together below and here is a link to a close up of
how they attach

Well phooey! I did what I was suppose to do to get a live link in the message but it didn't work. There's a link below to how they attach.

I have a piece hanging in my kitchen that i mounted.All i did was use one of the cardboard bolts that fabric comes on,wrapped it with batting ,then the fabric,the pinned a oiece of ribbon on the back to hang it.Very light weight,and hangs well.Here it is:

I've made quilts and stretched those over hand-made pine frames. I have two such works hanging in our house now. Here is one example:

Kathi, what a great recycling idea to use the cardboard from the fabric bolt. Hmm, wonder if you could paint on one of those? Sorry, I'm always thinking about painting surfaces. LOL Luvs
