Fabric Frame
Fabric and Frame
Categories: Art
Attack
One way to add texture, color, and pattern to a piece of home décor is with
fabric. The new Chantilly textiles make it easy to embellish with fabrics that
include the beautiful colors and patterns that are typical of Close To My Heart.
In the frame décor featured on page 16 of the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book,
pieces of Pear damask and Buttercup polka-dot fabric from the Chantilly
textiles, as well as burlap ribbon, add a little something extra to a standard
white frame. Follow these simple steps to incorporate fabric into an embellished
frame that you can hang anywhere.
1. Determine how long you’d like the finished ribbon and bow. This is based
on the size of your frame and if you’ll be hanging it. If you are hanging it on
a wall or door, you’ll need enough ribbon to wrap around the top of the frame a
couple of times and still have a long strip coming out the back of the
frame.
2. Cut enough strips of fabric to equal your desired length, making sure the strips are about 3½" wide to wrap around the burlap ribbon.
3. Sew the short ends of the strips together to create one long strip that equals the finished size you need for the project.
4. Fold the long fabric strip around a piece of burlap ribbon of the same size and secure temporarily with a straight pin.
5. With a sewing machine, carefully sew four straight lines down the length of the fabric-wrapped burlap ribbon. This will keep the burlap from moving around or bunching up inside the fabric.
6. Loop and hot glue the fabric-wrapped burlap ribbon around the top of the frame a couple of times so that it is nice and sturdy for handling and hanging.
7. Tie the remaining fabric-wrapped burlap ribbon into a large bow. Fold the tails of the bow into a wave and hot glue to the frame to secure the shape.
8. Embellish frame with accessories, as desired.
Easy, isn’t it? Now you have a beautiful piece of fabric-embellished home décor that you can show off to friends, family, and especially your customers!
