make your new collection
You can light up a room quickly with the drawings of your children or cheap prints, simply by placing them in senior discount. If you want to go a step further, you can customize the appearance of a few square yards of custom color fabric, and make your new collection boxes really zing.
To keep things cheap, find a source of images include carpet only. You can often find them in a variety of styles and sizes for less than $ 10.00.
Covering the carpet fabric add a nice organic look to your screen. And it is not necessary to adjust the color range is limited to the canvas shop. It is easy to “color” the canvas after being nailed to the floor, with a wash of acrylic paint craft in a color that complements the artwork.
Choose a fabric color that is as close as possible to the color you want the carpet to be finished, or use a color that compliments. Some of the original color of the canvas to show through the addition of structural interest.
You also need a small jar of acrylic craft paint in a color is great with the press or design that will be placed in frames. Or choose a color that complements the rest of your furniture.
Once you’ve mounted your canvas, the painting and its frame, it’s time to customize the display. First of all, take part in the new image to separate the carpet from the base. Set aside the glass support and the frame. Place the mat face down on a piece of cloth that has at least 2 inches more fabric on the mat. Make sure the fabric is in line with the edges of the carpet for a clean look when finished.
Fold the outer edges on the table, miter the edges with scissors and use a hot glue gun to firmly hold the fabric on the back of the carpet. Then cut a square or rectangle in the center of the fabric, leaving at least 1 cm of tissue glue to the inside edge of the carpet. Miter the corners as before, and firmly glue the fabric to the back of the carpet. When you turn over the carpet, you should have a perfectly smooth canvas covered carpet, no wrinkles or gaps.
Now, mix a little “water with acrylic paint craft to a consistency that will be easy to brush on the canvas, but not so thin that it enters the box. The color should remain on the same canvas . If the box is too wet, the carpet will buckle.
Using a large brush, pick up some of your acrylic paint and then press the brush against a paper towel to remove excess paint. Then brush the paint dry on the canvas. If the first layer does not give you a color as deep as you want, let dry and paint the new tissue.
When paint is completely dry, reassemble the picture, add your print or drawing, and connect the rear pillar.
You can also use the web as a medium for drawing, instead of using a carpet. This is especially effective if your printer has a jagged edge, or if the design is done on heavy watercolor paper.
To do this, you must cut a piece of cardboard the same size of the frame support structure. Cover the entire piece of cardboard with your canvas. You do not need to overlap on the back, because the margin is covered by the base. Then paint the canvas of the color of your choice. Remember to keep the cardboard dry, so as not to distort. So, your print center on the table, connect the mat with double sided tape.
This project is so cheap and easy to do, you can easily cover a large wall with a collection of printing or a design that catches the eye and become the new center punch to your room
