Fabric Canvas Wall Art
While perusing fabric for my living room drapes, I fell in love with this beauty. 
I love the lime greens, the whimsy of the birds and how the gray keeps it from looking too feminine even though it’s a floral print. In an effort to showcase this fabric somewhere in my home, I decided to incorporate it into our dining room design by turning it into a piece of art. 
Ultimately, I think I will add two square mirrors to either side of the art as well as neutral drapes so that I can change out the art and runner as the mood strikes. 
To make mine, I used:
- Fabric
- Canvas
- Iron
- Spray Adhesive (optional)
- Staple gun
- Teeth and nails (for hanging)
I started by ironing my fabric to remove any wrinkles. 
 I used a 50 x 40 inch canvas because I wanted a large piece. 
I figured out where I wanted the fabric to lay, then sprayed a light coat of spray adhesive to the canvas and covered it with my fabric. 
Then I began stapling the fabric to the wooden frame. 
 
 After all sides were stapled, we added teeth to the back for purposes of hanging. 
  And then hung her up! 
I also made a coordinating runner with stitch witchery for the table. 
It’s feeling so springy in here right now! Can’t wait to add the mirrors, drapes, rug, sideboard . . . ha!  Always a work in progress! 
But looking so much better than what we started with! 
I've been wanting to try this for my dining room wall. I love the fabric you chose. I'm adding this to my list of projects for the week.
I did the same thing for a piece of art over our bed. I love the impact it has for being such an easy project!
It looks beautiful! Very clean and sleek. You have such good taste!
Fabulous fabric. I love easy wall art like this. It looks perfect there.
Love this!! I love the fact that it's so easy & inexpensive to make! I've seen similar ones at target that range from $30-$50, whoa! It really looks great!
Brilliant!!! I love the green hues:) Perfect for Spring!!!
Looks great! I love the fabric in the runner. I actually came across the "art" fabric while doing a bench project, but it didn't go with our room. Glad you found a perfect use for it!
Ooh, lime green is one of my favourite colours, and that just looks amazing!
Lovely fabric! It looks great on the wall! And the runner works perfectly 🙂

I'd love to know the name of that fabric! So beautiful!
The fabric looks fabulous! Enjoy the wonderful day, Kellie xx
Would you mind sharing the fabric choice with us? I adore it!
Brilliant idea. It really brightens the room and makes a great impression. I'm thinking of doing something similar as a backdrop on our nightstands (behind the lamps). Hmmm…might have to work on that this weekend…
What a great, inexpensive way to add color to your dining room! Love the print you chose for the runner, too.
Looks amazing! You are always inspiring me with all your projects! I can't believe James is almost one!
The fabric panel is *genius*!!! I'm loving that green color, too, that is a really unique color way for the print, so gorgeous!
Your dining room looks beautiful, Megan. That fabric is stunning. How clever to use it as wall art. The lime green is a fun pop of color with your neutrals. Lovely runner, too! You've done a really nice job. Does that fabric have a name that you used on the canvas?
Very pretty!!! I love it. I am looking up stitch witchery now :O)

How awesome, Megan! I love the touches of green. It's such a fresh color (:
Great idea…I may do something like this over spring break for my bedroom. I'm re-doing a few areas!
It is lovely Megan! I agree, two small mirrors on either side would be perfect. Love your cat's cradle table runner too.
xo,

Such a great idea! Love what you did with your dining room!

Looks great! Beautiful fabric! It looks like it is hung a tad too high though – but it might just be the angle of the pictures. Great idea!
Love how its turning out! Just beautiful.
GREAT tutorial and super pretty art you created!! I love the table runner choice, too!! Those fabrics are just so fresh! Beatiful!!
Thanks so much!!

Love this fabric! What's the name of it?
Hey I gave this post a shout out! (my blog post called "Yellow".) I made a canvas wall art hanging for my bathroom. I needed a pop of color on that wall and your idea was perfect!
Great idea! It is so easy to construct and inexpensive.
Where did you get your dining set? I love it!
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this interesting and knowledgeable article.
