This adorable wall décor idea is from Fabric.com and can be easily recreated in your own home with fabrics from J&O! This craft can be made with any shape: Circles, squares, stars and more, making it versatile. Using a variety of fabric prints and textures will add interest to the overall look and feel, creating a special space for your child. We think our selection of polka dot fabrics would be wonderful for this project.
Cool fabric ceiling or wall décor idea we loved on Fabric.com
To recreate this look, you will need:
- Fabrics of your choice from our online store
- Tape
- Lightweight cardboard
- Fabric adhesive like Mod Podge
- Scissors
- Decorative embellishments like fabric covered buttons, fabric flowers, glitter or other items as desired
What to do:
- Draw your own shape patterns onto paper. Look at the area you wish to cover and decide how large or small you want the fabric pieces
- Next, use the patterns to cut out the fabric. For each piece of fabric, cut out a piece of lightweight cardboard to serve as the backing.
- Paint a light layer of Mod Podge onto the cardboard and glue the fabric to it
- Allow to dry completely
- Trim any excess fabric around the edging and feel free to add embellishments like decorative buttons or fabric flowers to your shapes!
- Practice moving the shapes around on the floor to make sure you like the way they look before securing them to the ceiling
- Pro-tip: This can also be a 3D craft if you use transparent string and create boxes or spheres rather than flat shapes. The overall effect would be like a very large baby crib mobile, attractive to the child and relaxing at the same time!
