I've had this fruit-style "art" on display for so much longer than I ever meant to. I found them (including frames) for a steal - $10 each! And when I bought them I meant to do something more interesting with the 'art'.
I've never had much love for them. I put the grouping up on the wall in our dining room as a placeholder, knowing it wouldn't be long until I made them special.
Flash forward fifteen years later - they're still there. FIFTEEN YEARS!!!
I was NOT going to live with this a moment longer. I've had an idea of what to do with these frames for years - and today was the day I finally got 'er done.
So, I made a trip to my local discount fabric store and roamed the aisles until I found something that spoke to me.
The fabric I fell in love with is Batik - you can find more like it here.
Here's how to start this project... Open up the back of your frame. Remove the old artwork.
You will want to iron out your fabric because any wrinkles in the fabric will be exaggerated on the wall. Take your time and get it just right.
Next, lay your frame face down. Place the fabric in the frame. Tuck the old "art" back in behind the fabric... Pull the fabric taut and staple it into place.
Here is how the final project turned out... Quite the transformation, am I right?! I love the beachy, coastal feel.
