How to Pick Wall-Hanging Fabric

DAVID A. CLEMEN: Okay. Welcome back. So, before we decide to do one of these, we gotta kind of get an idea of what fabric we want to use. There's lots of different fabrics. This is kind of corduroy, it's an upholstery weight. These are really intricate woven fabrics that are usually wool. And the problem with these fabrics is that it's kind of a loose weave and you can do it with this fabric but since this is the first time we're doing it, I'm going to use a simpler cotton fabric. But these are--a lot of times, I get this kind of fabrics in the backs of the fabric stores and they're usually after the season, you can get them at a less expensive price. But they're nice colors and things like that. So, these are a heavier weight fabric. And you can use these as well and upholstery fabrics. What we're going to use and what I've done on these two examples is--it's a really lightweight cotton fabric. It's called cotton broadcloth and it's really inexpensive. And so, we've got maroons and like a light brown. We've got beige, a mid-grade brown and then baby blue. So, for this project, we're going to use these cotton broadcloths and you can pretty much use any fabric you want. Just be careful, fabrics with stretch tend to really stretch a long way. So, you have to kinda factor that in when you go to stretch it around in the canvass. So, these are the fabrics we're going to use here and we'll see you in the next clip.
