Going on the fourth day of DIY Awesomeness Series, I am proud to present a cost saving project from one of my closest and dearest friends, Brienn Darr!
This girl loves DIY projects and is not afraid of any of them! (Like her couch and love seat she found on Craigslist for $50 which she is hoping to reupholster.) Brienn lives in Indianapolis with her husband, J.J. and dog, Moe.Together they brainstorm and master some major house projects!

Check out Brienn's easy idea for wall art:
Do you have blank walls that need some fun art? Well, usually my husband and I agree on most decorating ideas, but we just couldn’t agree on wall art. So, our walls stayed sad for a little while until we decided to look for some fabric and make our own art. We looked online and found some we really liked from Ikea and we knew we would be traveling up to Chicago sometime, so we could pick it up! So here’s our super easy, and cheap (for art that is) fabric art project. Enjoy!
Materials Needed:
Fun Fabric that you LOVE!
Canvases – from stores like Hobby Lobby
Staple Gun
A partner to help hold the fabric tight
Pick out your fabric. We picked some fun gray and white fabric with curvy lines and then some yellow and white stripes to even out the curves on the gray. Even Moe loves the fabric!
Buy your canvases. We went with craft canvases from Hobby Lobby that were on sale. You could probably just use a wooden frame – but we liked the idea of having the canvas already stretched across the wood so it would create a smooth finish with the fabric.
Next, iron your fabric if needed!
Finally hang it! And just think, if you “grow out” of the fabric style in a couple years, you don’t have to feel bad about changing it because you didn’t spend a lot of money!
Simple enough Brienn! Thanks for showing us how to not only fill our walls but save some serious cash. These are especially great for college door rooms, apartments, or transitional pieces. Nice work, friend!
