Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Base
If using a reclaimed canvas or frame, clean and repair as needed. Stretch fabric or canvas tightly over the frame, securing it with staples.
Design Your Layout
Arrange your scrap fabric pieces on the base to create your desired pattern. Play with overlapping, layering, or even cutting shapes to create a more dynamic design.
Attach Fabric to the Base
Use the staple gun or fabric glue to attach the fabric pieces to the base. Start with larger pieces and layer smaller or more detailed scraps on top.
Enhance the Design (Optional)
Add paint or dye to the fabric pieces for additional color and texture. This step allows for more creative freedom and customization.
Secure and Finish
Ensure all fabric edges are securely attached. Trim any excess fabric from the edges of the frame.
Add Hanging Hardware
Attach the sawtooth hanger or wire to the back of the frame for easy wall mounting.
