Ever fancied making your own fabric wall art? Well now you can with these fantastic 'Make your own' kits from Txtlarts, and with an absolutely massive range of Marimekko and other designer fabric you'll be spolit for choice!
Now...how to do it: Start with the finished size wall art you want. Use those measurements to select your stretchers. You need to purchase 2 pairs of stretcher bars from txtlart to create one frame kit. For instance, if you want a frame that is 30"high and 54" wide, you would need one 30" pair and one 54" pair . Marimekko fabrics are 57.5" in width including the selvedge so the maximum width you can use is 54". To determine the frame size if you already have fabric; subtract at least 3" from the length and 3" from the width of your fabric.
Now choose your fabric. Any cotton fabrics can be used for wall art. Each frame kit from txtlart includes picture wire, eyehooks and instructions. You will need a staple gun, iron and a pair of scissors. Each stretcher from txtlart is notched to slide into each other. A slight tap of a hammer to be sure that the fit is tight, screw in the eyehooks and your frame is ready to use. Just add fabric and you have a piece of art for your wall. All kits sold through txtlarts have full instructions so you cant go wrong.
And what if you can't be bothered with all that, dont live in the US or don't have a staple gun? Visit OurGreenRoom where we specialise in making them for you from only £79 with FREE DELIVERY!
