Fabrics Fabrics Fabrics - DIY Projects !

What in the world to do with all of these fantastic fabrics you see. I know I have a hard time not wanting to buy a yard of everyone that I fall in love with. Okay so say you do buy a few yards of all kinds of fabrics? There are so many pillows you can have with out looking like the pillow isle at Home Goods.
I decided to make a list off the top of my head that you could do as a DIY project for fabrics.
 * fabric headboard
 * fabric panels
 * add fabrics to the back of shelving units
 * line the back of cabinets
 * make pillows
 * lamp shades
 * coasters
 * picture frames
The best part about using fabrics is that you don't have to use fabrics that match perfect. Just find fabrics that compliment one another. I will give you a list of sites that I check out to see DIY projects.
I made a fabric headboard out of old cabinet doors, double sided tape, fabric of course and 3M command strips.

 I think the total cost of this project came out to 12$.
Here are a few images that I snagged to show you some other projects you can do!

How easy does this look? Simply attach your fabric scraps to the back of the frame with hot glue and there you have instant artwork!

What a great way to show off all kinds of fabrics! This DIYer bought cheap painters canvas from Michael's and covered then with fabric using a staple gun!

The headboard by far is one of the classic DIY fabric projects. There is so much you can do. Using a great fabric then adding toss pillows will give you an out of this world look. Think about how many different fabrics you could use!  I found that centsationalgirl.com has the best DIY tutorial for how to make a fabric headboard.

As I have always said in the past, find your inspiration and then make your design follow it. The possibilities are endless with fabrics, using solids and prints and different textures can give you a successful design that all your friends will be jealous over.
