There are endless ways to use fabric in picture framing, I really enjoy wrapping mats in fabric.  The pictures I’ve taken show fun and colorful fabrics, but I have made dozens of mats using remnant and scrap fabric to match furniture, curtains and wallpaper.  Wrapping the mats in fabric can make an inexpensive and budget-friendly frame look custom and one of a kind.  Wrap a mat with a favorite T-shirt to frame a band picture, fabric from a dress or outfit to frame a picture of a loved one.  Vacations, graduations and events can be remembered with pictures framed with fabric.  Endless possibilities!

Learn how to wrap your own mats at one of the workshops offered at Great Pacific.  Contact me for information!
