DIY Canvas Art: The Best Shower Curtains For Art
Make this simple large canvas artwork from a shower curtain & save a fortune
Que the budget savvy art work!
I know usually budget & art do not normally go together, especially when it’s large artwork.
But when I was creating the design board for the dining room makeover I knew I wanted a large canvas art piece to hang over the buffet table.
I had my heart set on something like this, but that price tag was a little out of the budget for the dining room makeover. So I had to improvise & come up with a little DIY magic.

DIY Large Scale Canvas Artwork
Supplies:
- 1×3 Pine boards
- Nails/1″screws
- Staples
- Shower Curtain or Fabric
Procedure:

- First thing is first, find a shower curtain or some fabric you absolutely love! I found this one from Amazon for about $20 & I have a bunch more of my favorites below!

2. Next, start building the frame. Decide the size you want the canvas, then cut the 1×3 pine boards to that length & height.

3. Once my board were cut to size, I started assembling the frame with nails & wood glue. I started with the outside base frame.

Make sure to use a square to keep your corners accurate!

4. I used the fancy new steamer my mom got me & steamed the curtain. You could probably just iron it but I really wanted to try this thing out!


5. Once I was done I laid the shower curtain facedown & set the frame over it. Then I wrapped the curtain around the frame, pulled it taught, & stapled it to the frame.

BIG TIP: Start at the center not the edges, to ensure you are pulling evenly

6. The edges I simply folded in like a present.

7. Staple them to the frame the same way.

Does this make me an artist now?! I am in deep love with this large scale canvas art y’all.

It complements the stone accent wall perfectly & adds some major character to the space!
