DIY: Easy Fabric Frames

I love this easy decor idea because of how simple it is, how quickly it can be done, but also the fact that it's easily interchangable for different occasions.  You can put holiday fabric in these and make your home more festive, and then quickly change it back out once the holiday passes.  We have plenty of scrap fabric that would be ideal to upcycle into these great frames.

This DIY comes from Tea Rose Home's blog, so check them out for more!

I found this cute frame at the dollar store; what a find! I bought four of them.

First, take out the glass inside and use it as a template. I used a pop tart box to make the squares.

Second, place the glass on the wrong side of the fabrics and draw a line. You will need about 1/2" extra around the line, so you can tape the fabric to the back of the cardboard.

On the wrong side of the fabric, place the cardboard that you cut out and tape the corners. (That way the corners will be less bulky.)


Tape the sides.


Put it in to the frame without the glass. I saved all my glasses, so in the future if I change my mind I can use the frame for something else.


It took me less than 30 minute to complete the project. I love quick and easy projects like this. On top of that the whole thing cost me about 4 dollars!
I took them to Rachel's room and did this:
