Painted fabric patch frame {DIY Fabric picture frame}.
How many times we have small scraps of fabric left from our DIY projects? And we are always looking to utilize them into making something else.
I had been thinking of using the fabric scraps left from the pillows I made for my bedroom for a while now.
So, I came up with this Painted Fabric Patch Frame.
A very quick and easy wall DIY project to match my room accents.

.
The chevron lines I traced using the template you can find here. I just love how it can simply become a part of any other setting if I decide to change things around my home.
Moreover the painted heart in the right corner of the frame makes it a beautiful gift for Valentine’s Day.

.I love chevron on the family silhouette canvases
(Find the tutorial to make Family silhouette with free printable chevron templates in 4 different sizes).

Painted Fabric Patch Frame
.
You Will Need:
- Fabric
- Paint (acrylic, fabric or any paint you like)
- Paint brush (I used size 1 for my small design)
- Double sided tape and scissors.
. .
Make It:
.
Start by cutting the scraps to your frame’s size. I chose to have a 3 column patch-work style. You can patch rows, squares or anything your heart desires. Next I ironed the seams on the sides and traced my chevron design on one of them. If you want a chevron trace, you can print it in 4 different sizes here
.
.
Now you can either sew or stick the patches together. I just wanted an easy fix (and frankly I don’t have a sewing machine) so I used double sided tape and stuck the seams of the scraps over each other. The result was pretty neat. 
Then I place the mirror over the fabric to locate where I wanted to draw my heart.
.
.
Then I painted it all.
.
.
And this is what it looked like in only a minute.
.
.
Here it is framed and hung on the wall.
.
.
I love it! What about You?
