Jamie needed art for her wall, so she came up with this perfect solution! She was the brains behind this project!

Jamie had this canvas she painted some time ago.  I had a little fabric left over from her chair redo. The fabric was almost a little shy of fitting the canvas.

Jamie suggested I paint the edges of the canvas black, so that it would be less noticeable.

Together, we tugged and pulled and stretched the fabric.

Then we stapled, and tugged and stapled some more. We were able to stretch the material enough so that it covered the edges after all.

Here’s the back. It’s not real pretty, but no one is going to be looking at the back.
repurposed wall art = easy diy project!

  17. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
    Nice piece of artwork for the office. That will really tie the room together with the chair.
    That is a wonderful pattern.
