Sentimental Clothing turned into wall art!
October 2025 - Sentimental Canvases
Nostalgic Wall Art
Who doesn’t have a storage container of sentimental clothes lying around? Try upcycling those special items by showing them off as wall art. Take an old or new canvas (check out your local thrift shop!) and with the help of a staple gun, you now have new art…. It is a customizable project that makes shareable memories!
Method
First lay out the shirt or item on top of the canvas to align the desired pattern.
Tightly gather in a bundle and using a staple gun, attach all four sides on the back.
Use a sharp pair of scissors or kitchen shears to remove the excess material.
Add staples, if necessary, at the corners. Enjoy!
Bonus ideas!
Use the theme of year: Baby’s first year, first year of college...
Think of trips: memorabilia from around the world is now art on your wall.
Try holidays: add photos of the clothing being worn to the finished canvas.
The pop of color will accentuate a child’s bedroom; and as always this would make a beautiful custom gift!
