Inexpensive Artwork

Who says art has to be behind glass or painted on a canvas? An inexpensive way to create
large, bold artwork is to wrap fabric around a canvas. It's simple! The canvas shown above is 36"w x 48"h and was purchased at Meininger's (a local art supply store) for $50.00. This size canvas takes only 1.5 yards of fabric. Wrap fabric tightly around canvas and simply staple along the back of the frame. Below are some fun options by Marimekko.
This is one of my favorite Marimekko fabrics for wrapping a canvas to create artwork.
It's funky, unique, a bright pop of color and best of all.....your neighbor is probably not
going to have the same thing!
