How to Make Upcycled Wall Art
Cut your clothing featuring the image you want to use for your upcycled wall art. Just make sure there is extra fabric that is bigger than the embroidery hoop.
Separate an embroidery hoop into 2 pieces.
Place the smaller piece of the hoop behind your tshirt or sweater. Then place the top of the hoop over the shirt until it fits snugly with the back of the hoop. Tighten the hoop so that it stays in place.
Cut off any excess fabric and fold over the rest as shown. Hot glue or tape the fabric to stay in place.
This is a really easy way to use your favorite clothing, that may look a bit worn or is unwearable, and turn it into a fun art project. Keep it even more simple and let your kids do the cutting, tightening and folding. You can skip the hot glue gun and use tape instead.
Just hang up your wall art and you’ve got a sweet personalized decoration.
