At some time or place we have all seen a painting where we have said "wow I could do better then that" or "they call that art" or "looks like a child made it". Well now its time for you to give it a try, and it is that easy. The best part is that it will not cost you an arm and a leg like some of those paintings go for. Plus you can sign your name to it and it will be the talk of the room when guests come over and see it.

What supplies you will need:

1 wood frame (any size you like, and it does not have to be new since you will not see any of it.

plain white fabric to cover the frame - plus with a 2 inch lip and 20 percent extra to shift the center

staple gun / or glue gun / or even tacks and a hammer - to attach the fabric to the frame with

an iron - to press from the

a hock to hang it up with that attaches to the picture frame if you want (but one is not needed to hang it)

paints

What you will need to do to make your picture:

Roll out your fabric with the best side down. Then lay the frame on top of it. You may want to do this on the floor where you have room to work or a large table.

Cut the fabric to size but leave enough fabric to staple down to the frame. You can always cut off any extra - but once it is cut you can not add on fabric.

Begin to staple by starting in the center on any side and use about 3 staples (2 inches apart) in each direction.

Pull the fabric, make it as taut as you can (ask for help if you need it).

Move to the opposite edge, then repeat for all sides.

Fold at the corners, fold the edges and staple one on top of the other. Cut off extra fabric.

You can add your hock at this time, and press out any wrinkles with the iron from the backside if needed.

Now you are ready to paint it. This is where you can be the artist and do it anyway you want. With paint brushes, or stencils, sponges, it is all up to you.

You can even have a painting party, where each person makes their own or everyone adds a little something to just one.

Fabric tip:
If you want the easy way out, you can even buy fabric with a print on it already. This can match another item already in the room too.

This is a one of a kind work of art and we would sure like to see your, so send us a picture of your finished painting.

Add that wow factor in your main enterance when peole come into your house. Or how about that one really big wall that could use something bold. This would even go great over your bed or as a wall-headboard. You may even find out that you will want to make more then just one!
