Trim the edges so your paper is the right size and ready to feed through the printer. Like I said I chose to print sheet music. Make sure your image is REVERSED so it will end up facing the right way on your fabric.
Be ready to work quickly before the ink dries. Print your image and then place it immediately on your fabric. I used a credit card to carefully press it down without letting the whole image slip around. You can also lightly moisten your fabric to help it come it clearer. Too much water will make the image blot and run.
I put music on two of my fabric canvases, and the other two I left as they were.
I used my staple gun to staple the fabric around the canvases, and nailed some picture hooks on the back for hanging. Then I just had to do a little measuring and eyeballing to put it on the wall just right!
Here's a view with the bedspread too.
I love how it turned out. It adds a little more flavor and personality to our room!
What unique things have you used fabric for?
