Fabric Covered Canvas with Photos

When I was working on the candy corn dress for Braylee (I posted it on facebook, but I forgot to post it here!) I needed some orange fabric with white polka dots for the straps. I made a quick run to Hobby Lobby to grab some, and this caught my eye! It is the PERFECT fabric for another project I wanted to make:
I have my "To Make" board on Pinterest and I love the idea of covering cavas with fabric and hanging it on the wall from kristendukephotography.com:

These are PERFECT in the "green room"! I bought the 8x10 canvas in 2 packs for $3.99 at Hobby Lobby-and, of course, I used my 40% off coupon so they were actually $2.39 for 2. The middle one is 11x14. I got a 2-pack of those for $5.99 (minus the 40% coupon) and am using one of them for another project (inspired by Pinterest) that I will post tomorrow. I bought 1/2 yard of each fabric (on sale 30% off) and I have extra that I can use as a ruffle on a pillow for the bed or some other project for the room.
What I loved most about this project is that you use clear photo corners and hang black and white photos on them:
LOVE IT!!! I debated which direction to hang them, but I seem to mostly take pictures in landscape rather than portrait. I can change these out so easily! The middle canvas will hold an 8x10 and the 4 outer canvas' will hold 5x7. I need to get busy ordering photos!

  1. Love this idea and am getting ready to use this for our church nursery. Do you recommend super glue for putting the hoot corners on the fabric? Thanks!!!!!

    1. I think I ended up just using some E6000 because I had it, but you definitely need some extra adhesive for at least the bottom two corners! I would love to see your finished products :o)
