Make your own Wall Art

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!

Shannon - Scandanavian Heaven!

Here at OurGreenRoom we are massive fans of Scandinavian design (in case you can’t tell) and nestled in between many other quirky little independent shops in Bath, just a stone’s throw from the main street is Shannon. It’s packed full of the most fantastic selection of scandanavian furniture, fabrics, gifts and accessories I think we have ever laid eyes on.

Brands for sale include Marimekko, Iittalla, Mairo, Moomin, Klippan – the list of prestigious brands available is endless. And the products available – anything from cutlery and tea towels to full sets of dining furniture, and not just stuff for your kitchen, Shannon boasts (we’ve heard) the largest selection of Marimekko fabric in the UK! So something for the crafter in you too.

And if you looking for a quirky gift look no further – we picked up a lovely little Moomin soft toy for our new baby. Beats anything you can get from the regular high street stores or supermarkets and it’s great to know our little baby has something a bit different.

If like us you are into Scandinavian design, then its well worth a visit, the fantastic collection the owner Sue has built up over the years is well worth boasting about.

Shannon is found at 68 Walcott Street, Bath just a hop skip and a jump from the main shopping area

Peace and Calm

This week in the shop at 5 Weavers Walk, Bradford on Avon,  we will be exhibiting some wall art and cushions using the beautiful Gingko and Biloba prints by Marimekko. Tranquil and delicate, the designs are great for spaces to relax and replenish. We have actually used this print ourselves in combination with Lumimarja green in our own bedroom and it works a treat!

The fabrics have been professionally made into beautiful cushions and wall art and cushions are just £25 including an inner and optional delivery. Canvases start from £79 and are available at ourgreenroom as well as in the shop.
