Leather and Canvas Wall Hanging Tutorial (with no-sew option!)

 

Today is the last day of Don’t Fear the Fabric: Oilcloth +Leather. Wah! It has been so fun, so thanks for following along!

For this final tutorial, I have an easy wall hanging to share, using canvas and leather scraps. I have two versions of this canvas and leather project, one for the holidays and one for any day. You can use the tiniest pieces of leather for the letters, so it’s a great scrap buster.

Leather and Canvas Wall Hanging Tutorial

Materials:
-1/2 yard canvas bottomweight
-Leather scraps

-1/2″ dowel

………………………………………………………………..

Cut out the canvas and cut each letter from leather.

Fold over 3/8″ on each side and press. Sew or glue down.

At the top, fold over 1 1/2″ and stitch or glue down, creating a casing for the dowel.

Slip the dowel in the casing.

Tie on string and use a dab of glue to keep it in place.

Now glue the letter on and you’re done!
