How to Make a Moroccan-Inspired Fabric Wall Hanging Over CanvasMaterials You’ll Need:
- Moroccan-inspired fabric with vibrant colors and patterns
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Batting for a padded effect
Step By Step:Moroccan Inspired Fabric Wall Decor
Select Your Fabric: Choose fabrics featuring Moroccan designs such as geometric patterns, bold colors, or intricate motifs. Opt for rich textures like woven cotton or lightweight tapestry fabrics.
Prepare the Canvas:
Lay your canvas frames flat on a clean surface. If you want a cushioned, padded look, place a layer of batting over the canvas before adding the fabric.
Measure and Cut the Fabric:
Measure your canvas dimensions and cut the fabric, leaving about 2-3 inches of extra material on each side to wrap around the edges.
Wrap the Canvas: Lay the fabric face down on a flat surface, then place the canvas face down on top of it. Starting from the center of one side, gently pull the fabric tight and staple it to the back of the canvas frame. Move to the opposite side, pulling tightly to eliminate wrinkles, and staple. Repeat for all sides.
Create Clean Corners:
Fold the corners neatly, similar to wrapping a gift, and secure with staples to keep them smooth and tidy.
Finishing Touches:
Trim any excess fabric at the back. Ensure all staples are secure and the fabric is taut.
Hang Your Artwork:
Arrange your canvases in a grid or line above a bed or any blank wall. This design doubles as a stylish headboard or a stunning piece of wall art.
Pro Tip: To enhance the Moroccan vibe, mix and match fabrics with complementary patterns and colors. Adding metallic accents or tassels can elevate the aesthetic.Now, you have a beautiful, Moroccan-inspired fabric wall hanging that transforms any room with vibrant culture and texture!
If you have the leftover fabric you can make a pillow to match the canvasses using the envelope pillow tutorial Use this post how to create an envelope pillow.
