I hate to see something go to waste, but I also hate to see junk lying around. I had a little extra fabric from recovering some seat cushions and wanted to use it for something, but I wasn't sure what. It's been hanging out in the utility room for a while, until I saw an idea while browsing Pinterest. The ideas that I saw on Pinterest were more geared towards jewelry, but I needed something to hang keys on so here's what I came up with:
1. I purchased a 12" x 12" square canvas from Michael's.
2. I cut the fabric that I had a few inches bigger than the canvas, and the wrapped it almost like a present. Don't forget to wrap it tightly, and be sure to iron the fabric before you start if it is wrinkled. I secured the fabric to the back with staples.
3. I pre-drilled holes in the bottom of fabric-covered canvas with a small bit, and then screwed in hooks that I picked up at Home Depot. They only had brass and silver, but I'm sure they could be spray-painted for a particular look.
Voila! Here it is on the wall:
This project didn't take very long at all, and now that I have all of the hooks it would be easy to do again. Christmas gift anyone?
