Fabric Wall Hanging
If you've always wanted to make a wall hanging with the quote or saying of your choice, this is how it's done! No sewing skills required.
Servings 1 hanging
Cost $8
Equipment
- 1 Silhouette Cameo your chosen design – check out my Etsy shop for options
Ingredients
- Canvas fabric
- Dowel rod(s)
- Twine
- Iron-on Design or Printable Iron-on Transfer Paper optional
Instructions
- Cut off a piece of canvas fabric to the size you want your wall hanging to be – I used leftover canvas dropcloth fabric from an earlier project, misted it with water, and ironed it to remove the creases. Mine ended up being 7″ x 9″.
- Fold the sides and the top part of the piece, iron to make the crease permanent and then hot glue them in place.
- Do the same for the bottom, except fold it in a pennant shape – I recommend folding the hanging in half horizontally just so you know where the middle is and use the middle mark as a guide to folding your pennant bottom. Hot glue that in place as well.
- Now take your dowel and fold your fabric over the dowel and hot glue the edges of the fabric in place, making sure your dowel is still removable.
- Choose your design for the wall hanging. I hand-lettered 'You Got This' in my design program. Cut out the vinyl on a cutting machine.
- Iron down your design with your iron, but make sure to use the appropriate heat settings according to the material you are using.
- Cut off the excess dowel piece and tie jute twine on either end and secure with some hot glue, and you are done!
- Spruce it up further by adding some color by way of paint or even some floral embellishments.
Notes
There are a variety of iron-on transfers that you can purchase if you don't have an electronic die-cutting machine, or you can also print a saying on a piece of Printable Iron-on Heat Transfer (for light fabrics).
