You can do...Hi Regina, thank you for your comments. You can do the same project with less expense. You could purchase a blank art canvas in the size you are after and you can cover it with either fabric or wallpaper.<br /><br />Wallpapers don't have to be the expensive ones, as long as they are not a thin weight (called gsm). I can direct you to Spoonflower, which is where I have my fabrics and wallpapers printed. Search through any design characteristics you are after and you may find something. Just remember though, it can restrict you on the width of your artwork.<br /><br />If you need a hand at all just email me.<br /><br />Here's the link for my shop on Spoonflower:<br />http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/designedtoat<br /><br />And for Spoonflower:<br />http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome<br /><br />Good luck...Terese<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354550357128384777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-55146555726596678042013-10-28T17:37:11.003+11:002013-10-28T17:37:11.003+11:00I'd love to try this project out.

It IS scary though! Thanks for the heads up in regards to using the canvas - I didn't want to try in case it ruined the canvases, I'll just paint them instead like I originally intended to do :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865482654831209871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-63403887704916878332010-07-05T21:49:06.357+10:002010-07-05T21:49:06.357+10:00Kylie I had a look at Olive & Joy and the fabr...Kylie I had a look at Olive & Joy and the fabric she used for the lamp makeover is what I used for the top of my Ottoman. The sides are your print, Circles and squares, but in the same lime green.<br /><br />I've also got a cushion in the same Bamboo print. <br /><br />I have so many pictures to cull for both the Ottoman and Cushion posts, so I've just finished a quick Florence post and will hope to at least get the Cushion post finished on the weekend.<br /><br />Hope it will help you....TereseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354550357128384777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-83678351950012522122010-07-05T21:44:08.732+10:002010-07-05T21:44:08.732+10:00Hi Emma.

Don't be scared of masonite, it's quite easy to work with. I'm not sure if places like Bunnings will cut masonite, but they definitely cut pine (etc) to size. Get yourself a small piece of masonite from the hardware store and have a go at hand sawing it (with a sharp saw of course). It's not expensive, so maybe get the feel for it that way. <br /><br />Good luck anyway if you have a go...TereseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354550357128384777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-85487848762982011832010-07-05T21:16:09.015+10:002010-07-05T21:16:09.015+10:00They look absolutely gorgeous - I'm in love wi...They look absolutely gorgeous - I'm in love with the Florence Broadhurst wallpaper - my favourite is the one with horses (I don't know what its called, but I love it!!). One day I'll work up the courage (and the bank balance) to buy some!<br /><br />I have some prestretched canvases here at home - do you think that I could glue wallpaper to the canvas and it would work alright? Or am I completely off the mark here? Masonite and things like that scare me! lolEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865482654831209871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-73498567770760733182010-07-04T17:23:59.486+10:002010-07-04T17:23:59.486+10:00I'm hoping to start a sewing course soon, so t...I'm hoping to start a sewing course soon, so that will be a great help with the fabric - and any tutorials you post will be most welcome! I also love what Julie from Olive and Joy did with her fabric - she paid for it to be turned into a cute little ottoman, it was was surprisingly cost effective!Kylie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248780616671029750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-87587256838710408142010-07-04T16:58:42.294+10:002010-07-04T16:58:42.294+10:00Thanks Kylie...They're were fairly easy to do,...Thanks Kylie...They're were fairly easy to do, you just need to work carefully and slowly with the spray glue. It goes everywhere...even the hairs on your arms feel 'glued'. Thanks for encouraging people to visit. I'll have a few more up soon. I've been really busy lately and can now get back into it.<br /><br />Thanks again. Also if you need a hand with the fabric, I'll have the Cushion Project up very soon.<br /><br />TereseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354550357128384777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276950196234099151.post-81469760925251428812010-07-04T09:33:36.770+10:002010-07-04T09:33:36.770+10:00Hi Terese - this is fantastic!

How exciting to see our wallpaper panels in progress!<br /><br />Kylie<br />xo<br /><br />PS. I'm almost worked up the courage to do something with the off-cuts you gave me - I framed a tiny sample as a gift for someone and it looks amazing!Kylie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248780616671029750noreply@blogger.com
