SUPPLIES NEEDED:

  • Artist Canvas – size is completely up to you – I used a 11” x 14” canvas for this project
  • Fabric – select fabric to match décor of nursery ( patterned, solid color, and scrap fabric)
  • Staple Gun
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Sewing Pins
  • Needle & Thread
  • A Button
  • Sewing Machine

SELECT IMAGE FOR FOCAL POINT OF ARTWORK:

SketchI selected and sketched an elephant for my focal point; well suited for the décor and theme of my nursery. (See sketch below). One can be creative and select various options based on your décor and theme, for instance perhaps a sketch of a boat, rose, car, or bear would be appropriate for you.

PATCHWORK:

  • Cut out selected focal point image and glue to solid color fabric
  • Randomly glue scraps of fabric to image creating a patchwork design

  • Utilize needle and thread by hand sewing around the contour of focal point image. This creates definition and a fasten reinforcement to solid color fabric
  • Sew on button in place of the eye
  • Pin patchwork design to patterned fabricStep 1
  • Using a sewing machine, select a stitch design of your choice and adhere patchwork to patterned fabric by sewing around its board.
  • Once patchwork is secured to patterned fabric, wrap fabric around canvas, and staple down using staple gun.
