Kim: I'm Kim Myles from Home Made Simple and I'm going to show you a quick and easy trick for making custom, canvas wall art... Lisa, I've got you here to help me with the project. Lisa: Okay. Kin: It's going to be simple, easy, vibrant and really colorful. Lisa: Yes. Kim: One of the challenges with creating interest in a space is getting some art in that is large in scale. That can be an expensive thing if you're purchasing from a design store, but it's super simple to just make them yourself... So, all we do—is we have fabric... Lisa: Okay... Kim: Right, and it's kind of canvas weight. It's a little bit heavier. Lisa: Okay, okay.... Kim: And then I have Thad building some little frames. Lisa: Okay... Kim: All right. Thad: How you guys doing? Kim and Lisa: Great! Thad: I took those measurements, Kim, and I built the frames out of two-by-twos. Got a couple diagonals in here, just to help it from twisting and turning—keeping it square. Kim: Thank you very much, sir. Thad: Y'all have fun! Kim: Well done. Lisa: Thank you! Kim: So, we put the right side of the fabric down. Take the frame—lay it on just like that. Perfect. All you're gonna do is wrap fabric around the back, make sure it's nice and taut, and staple... All right. You ready to see? Lisa: Let's look... Voilà! Kim: Voilà. Lisa: Beautiful. Beautiful. Kim: Now, this cost me about fifteen bucks to make. Lisa: Unbelievable. Kim: Right? If I went to a designer store and got a piece a canvas wall art, I'm looking at fifty to sixty bucks. So, great savings...
