Printing on Fabric = $1 Art

Gina over at The Shabby Chic Cottage showed how to print on fabric here.  What a perfect project for some cheap art!
I followed the instructions and used a graphic from the Graphics Fairy to print a bird image to white fabric.
Add a dollar store picture frame...
A little white wash and a little sanding later....
I left the glass off of mine -- it almost looks like a painted canvas.  Gorgeous art for $1....that is my kind of project!

I love this!! You chose such a pretty graphic to print. Can you believe that I don't have a printer?!? Wish I did so I could try this.

i just printed a stormtrooper onto fabric with this method...worked like a charm!
yours of course is much nicer to look at than a stormtrooper.

I am so going to try this over the weekend! My question is: you can only print out on 8 and 1/2 by 11 paper, no? Just wondering how to do something bigger but I guess I better start small - lol! Looks great!

Great Job! What a sweet little bird in a good-looking frame.

That looks awesome, it does look like a painted canvas!

I used that same bird on a pillow project. :-) I like your frame better though. Would love for you to come by and bring any spring related project to my Bring In The Spring blog party.

Seriously who knew you could print on fabric!! Genius! I will definitely be trying this one. Your prints looks fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!

that's adorable! i wish i had a functional printer so i could make one. it is really so cute- i love the print you chose.

I agree...I can only do an 8 1/2 x 11 too. I thought the same thing. We do have a printer at work that does color up to 11x17...hmmmmm....

What a great idea! It turned out looking fabulous. Nicely done.

Fabulous, this is a wonderful idea and so cute.

This is just beautiful! No one would ever, ever, guess it was only $1.00!

That's my kind of project, too! I have to go see that tutorial!

Very cute - I really like the original art look.

What a great project! You are a clever and crafty girl. Happy Spring!

Very cute! So many great ideas in this contest!

That turned out great! : )

Wow - what a great idea! I'm just loving the inventive and creative ideas people come up with. It looks great!

It looks fab, dahling. ;) Neat "trick." Thanks for stopping by to enter my Giveaway today. Hope you'll come visit again soon. :)

That is so pretty and your visitors would think you paid a fair bit for it. It looks handpainted.

Okay, so I ADORE that bird and want to make a pillow using it. I tried printing on fabric by taping it to cardstock this weekend, but it didn't work. So I'm going to try it this way, too! Thanks!

It turned out great. Love the GF too. She is the best. Have a lovely weekend.

I looks great! You'd never know it only cost $1.00. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

This is such a great look Angie!! I would never have thought to frame the fabric, but I love it!!! I definitely have to try this one. Thanks so much for linking this one up for "Brag Monday"!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I too would never think to frame the fabric.

This bird is one of my favourite images, it works beautifully as picture. Petra.
