Creating your own wall art not only allows you to be expressive and creative but also allows you to have a hand in shaping the ambiance of your living space, making it uniquely reflective of your personality and style. As a maximalist or minimalist, you’re able to choose bold colors, introduce new textures, and step out of your comfort zone to implement new styles. Fabric wall art is a form of textured wall art that focuses solely on different types of fabrics. From cotton to linen to silk—the most popular material—each texture brings a fresh new vibe that will enhance your home’s interior no matter which room you place it.

The great thing about wall art is that you can do it yourself. It’s inexpensive, non-time-consuming, and the perfect activity to have fun while creating your own masterpiece. All you’ll need is your main items, which won’t break the bank, some creativity, and a little bit of elbow grease.

Materials You’ll Need

Canvas

The first item you need is a blank canvas. The sizes and number of canvases are up to you and how you’d like your overall piece to come out. If you want to go for an elevated, upscale look, an oversized canvas will do the trick. This way, you could hang it in your dining room, the hallway, or entryway to create a statement piece. If you’d like to create a more uniform look, consider getting two or three of the same size canvas and line them up evenly along the wall.

Paint Brush

You’ll be doing a little “painting” on this project, but not with paint. It’ll be with glue, so get ready to get a little sticky. A sponge paintbrush or typical paintbrush with bristles will do the job.

Fabric

Your fabric, your choice. Different fabrics will speak different languages within your home. Choose from silk, velvet, linen, or even denim—all materials are likely to elevate the appearance of your walls and result in a high-end look.

Mod Podge Glue

Don’t forget your Mod Podge Glue. When it’s time to glue and lay the fabric for a permanent finish, you’ll want a glue that is guaranteed to solidify your artwork.

Scissors

Scissors will come in handy to cut extra unnecessary fabric off.
