Layered Sail Wall Fine Art Tutorial

Last yr when I rescued this cute dresser from my neighbor's trash, I e'er imagined it styled amongst a giant slice of abstract fine art hanging over it. Although the dresser was costless to me, I withal didn't desire to pass loads of cash for the type of slice I envisioned. So, similar whatever practiced DIY blogger, I made do amongst something I painted myself. I used the largest canvass that I had on manus (even a patently large canvass is expensive, too!) as well as was happy amongst the vibrant colors of the icon I made, fifty-fifty though I'm fully aware of my express abstract icon abilities. ;)

Since the canvass didn't fill upwardly the infinite equally much equally I would convey liked, I compensated yesteryear filling inward the infinite roughly it. Here's what it looked similar for last year's summertime habitation tour:

I'm e'er keeping an oculus out for a larger canvass that I tin give the axe supplant that i with, but inward the hateful time, inspiration struck to give this canvass a lilliputian to a greater extent than presence on the wall. Using the same premise that I did for my layered silhouette artwork, I idea I could add together a slice behind the canvass to cash inward one's chips inward seem bigger.

I idea close having a slice of plywood cutting to size, but therefore I remembered I had left over DIY Airplane Art inward my son's room. It wouldn't live equally heavy equally a large slice of plywood hanging on the wall, as well as it was already inward my garage, therefore yay for free!

To encompass the sheathing, I almost defaulted to dark as well as white striped fabric, but therefore this navy as well as white polka point inward my stash caught my eye. I've used it equally a make-shift runner on a few tables here and here before. I actually liked the mix of the polka point smoothen pottery plates that I had hung on the wall amongst the canvas, therefore the navy polka point textile apace won out.

This was such a elementary project! I started yesteryear cutting the sheathing to the size I wanted. It's slow to cutting amongst a practiced at in i trial border as well as utility knife.

Then, I layed it downward on the incorrect side of a slice of fabric, leaving several inches roughly each side.

Next, I wrapped the excess textile roughly each side. I knew that hot mucilage would non function good on the foam, therefore I used practiced 'ol duct record to secure the edges. Just similar replacing the textile on a chair seat, I secured all of the sides first, therefore tightly pulled the textile at the corners for a sudden edge.

That's all at that topographic point is to it!

Rather than thinking close a agency to attach hangers from the dorsum of the foam board, I but used a few nails as well as tapped them at in i trial through the front end of the foam board to attach it to the wall. The foam board was a lilliputian fight bowed, therefore I used close iii nails therefore it would all live snug against the wall.

Then, I used 2 to a greater extent than nails through the foam board to hang the canvass (my flim-flam for making certain that pictures don't shift as well as cash inward one's chips crooked).
