I've done a few projects where I've used fabric on furniture and I always did things the same way: with mod podge. Now don't get me wrong, it works great, but I've always struggled with cutting the fabric straight and getting a clean edge. The solution? POSTER BOARD!
Let me show you what I mean :)
First I cut my poster board to the size of each shelf.
Then I cut my fabric out a little bigger than the paper (roughly an inch on all sides, and a few inches on the front). I folded it over the edges of the poster board and glued it down.
I used more glue to cover the backside of the poster board as well as putting a little on the shelf itself; especially in the corners. I found this glue at JoAnns but you could use any kind.
Enjoyed the project?
