Did you see this fabric-wrapped frame on Made By Girl last week? Emily of Lucite + Lavendar used an extra yard of one of my favorite fabrics to make over a plain IKEA frame.
To keep this project looking cool and not too crafty, I would use it with simple typography prints (like Jen’s “Love” posters) or black and white photos.
Here’s a pretty simple, step-by-step tutorial I found online if you want to try making your own fabric frame.
What a cute project idea! And I agree - it needs something graphic and punchy to keep from looking too cutesy.
ReplyDeleteSuper fun! I just don't know if I could use a yard of Chiang Mia for a frame!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! What a different way to add a great pop of color. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea and it looks easy...
ReplyDeleteLOVE that frame! The fabric is absolutely perfect. What if it were part of the matting (between two plain mats) instead? Hrmmmmm.... *off to look at fabric pile*
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I first look I wasn't really feeling it, until I saw it in context on the wall in the nursery next to the fabric letters. It is cute, and especially for a kids room.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I like it a lot with the thin frame.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love these :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! You could also do it with wallpaper/wrapping paper and some mod podge. I tried something similar by wrapping a mat recently (inside the frame) and that worked rather well too (results here in the background: http://sfair.blogspot.com/2012/05/privet-house.html). I'm excited to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I frequently see pics on your webpage that I'd love to pin on pinterest, but I always get an error message saying this page is not html compliant. :(
Oh they look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this design idea.
Looks easy to do too.
That's my kind of craft project- simple!
ReplyDeleteHuh, genius! Looks great!!! Great idea for leftover scraps of fabric!
