13+ Fun Fabric Projects – For Your Home!
It’s all about fabric today! I’m sharing 13+ fun fabric projects you can do for your own home too!
Post updated 2/2023 to add more fabric projects.
Hey Friends!
In my end of the year post I asked you guys to fill out a survey about what you want to see around here in 2019.
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for filling that out! It really helps to give me some insight into what you are interested in, etc.
I would love to try to give you more of what you want to see and less of what you don’t.
I also had a section at the very bottom that asked, in your own words, what you want to see specifically.
I hadn’t expected to get comments about what you don’t want to see. lol
As in, things that maybe bother you or critique but hey, I have thick skin, I write a blog.
And I did ask, so…
….I really am grateful for any and all feedback. Truly.
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and not really be able to “see” things how others do.
I only got a couple of comments like that but they were actually thought-provoking for me and gave me another view that I hadn’t considered and/or noticed.
So thank you for that!! (by the way, it wasn’t anything big or bad, lol, just little things)
This section was also helpful because you were able to give great detail about what you are interested in seeing.
I’m thrilled and you guys gave me a bunch of great ideas. I can’t wait to get busy!
Now let’s get on with these fabric projects.
I had planned another project today but it didn’t quite work out so I pulled together these fun fabric projects.
Fabric projects were one of the things asked for this year so I thought it might be a great way to kick off the new year, right?
I love using fabric on furniture and on other small things too. The design options are just endless with all the pretty fabric choices out there.
13+ Fabric Projects
I loved the look of this pretty little chair but it was surely in sad shape. A little paint and new fabric were all it needed.
See all the details, here.
This one got fabric….in the form of a drop cloth.
Quite a change! And who would ever guess that it was a drop cloth??
See all the details, here.
This was a good one for the holidays. (that I didn’t end up putting out this year)
But I can also see this being used with other designs, or maybe just a pretty fabric only.
See all the details, here.
This cane seated chair got a bit of fabric too. I tried to use something that looked equally antique.
(it also got a super simple stain update!)
See all the details, here.
The inside and outside of this old flatware box got a brand-new look.
See the outside and other details, here.
This was part of a thrifty swap challenge. I ended up making a no-sew pillow with the fabric.
See the details, here.
A DIY “faux” roman shade for the guest bath. (I’m getting ready to give a mini makeover to…which means a new curtain)
See all the details, here.
Give an old chair a new look.

Thanks Christina! Do you?! I have just a small stash but enough to get me started on more projects! ;) xo
I love this so much! You are so talented. thanks for sharing
Aw, thanks so much, Sheri! :) Have a wonderful weekend! xo
And I meant Sherry! I just responded to a “Sheri” right before you! :)
Pretty good “sewing” ooops I mean “gluing” your fabric make overs. I Pinned every one of your make overs including from way back when. I have a few windows to do and of course some pillows to match. Love your honesty.. …if it doesn’t work for you , you let us know that there is a better product, better way etc. to do the project. Thanks for all your tips.I need all the help I can get.
Thanks so much Rita!! I am so glad you like the projects and yes, I try to be transparent and want to give the “real deal” of what I’ve done or gone through to create something. And sometimes that means I share my big ole fails too! ;) Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xo
Thanks for sharing your fabric makeovers! I have that girly Paris fabric in my stash (bought it for no “real” reason! Now, I’ve got to find the perfect item to use it on! I’ll see what the snow amount will be and if I can get out!
Isn’t that one so fun?! Being snowed in is the perfect time for crafty work! ;) We got nothing but rain…but that was a perfect time for staying in too!! ;) xo
I love how you up-cycled the wood an cane chair. Was wondering if you could help from one Nancy to another! I have an old ornate chair handed down from my grandfather that has caning on the seat and on the back. The challenge I am having is what to do with the back since it is curved with a piece down the middle from top to bottom. The seat originally had a cute cushion made for its’ exact unusual shape which if I re-cane can duplicate or just upholster like you did. If you need pictures let me know but sure would appreciate any and all feed back on this. Thanks, Nancy J.
Hi Nancy! Yes, send me some photos so I can see exactly what you mean. nancy (@) artsychicksrule.com
Curious about the white table in the metal stool project…it looks like a sewing cabinet. Did you diy that as well? Any tutorial for that?
No, that is just a small table. Here is what it looked like when I bought it and then painted it… https://www.artsychicksrule.com/simple-table-update-with-chalk-paint/
You are so talented. Ty for the posts.
Thank you, Denise!! :) You are so welcome!! Happy weekend to you! xo
Love this post!!! Great ideas
So glad you enjoyed this post, Lee! :)
These are great. My favorites are the Roman shade and white chair.
Thanks, Lizzy! All fun, love the possibilities with fabric. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xoxo
