DIY Canvas Art: The Best Shower Curtains For Large Art
DIY Canvas Art: The Best Shower Curtains For Art
Que the budget savvy art work!
I know usually budget & art do not normally go together, especially when it’s large artwork.
But when I was creating the design board for the dining room makeover I knew I wanted a large canvas art piece to hang over the buffet table.
I had my heart set on something like this, but that price tag was a little out of the budget for the dining room makeover. So I had to improvise & come up with a little DIY magic.
~SOME AFFILIATE LINKS MAY BE PROVIDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, TAKE A PEEK AT OUR PRIVACY & DISCLOSURE POLICIES~ DIY Large Scale Canvas Artwork Supplies:
- 1×3 Pine boards
- Nails/1″screws
- Staples
- Shower Curtain or Fabric
Procedure:
- First thing is first, find a shower curtain or some fabric you absolutely love! I found this one from Amazon for about $20 & I have a bunch more of my favorites below!
2. Next, start building the frame. Decide the size you want the canvas, then cut the 1×3 pine boards to that length & height.
3. Once my board were cut to size, I started assembling the frame with nails & wood glue. I started with the outside base frame.
Make sure to use a square to keep your corners accurate!
4. I used the fancy new steamer my mom got me & steamed the curtain. You could probably just iron it but I really wanted to try this thing out!
5. Once I was done I laid the shower curtain facedown & set the frame over it. Then I wrapped the curtain around the frame, pulled it taught, & stapled it to the frame.
BIG TIP: Start at the center not the edges, to ensure you are pulling evenly
6. The edges I simply folded in like a present.
7. Staple them to the frame the same way.
Does this make me an artist now?! I am in deep love with this large scale canvas art y’all.
It complements the stone accent wall perfectly & adds some major character to the space!

I live in Mexico and was looking for ocean themed artwork. Here are my shower curtains in the dining room and both bedrooms.

Turning shower curtains into canvas art is such a creative idea! When choosing the best shower curtains, think about vibrant colors or interesting patterns. You can find some gems at local stores or check online marketplaces. I recently stumbled upon https://inlovewithit.com/collections/romantic-moments, and their collection of shower curtains is fantastic! They have unique designs that could add a touch of romantic moments to your art.
