6. Fabric Mat Frame
A fabric mat adds a luxurious, textured touch to your framed art. It’s an easy way to elevate simple prints and give them a gallery-style presentation.
How to make it:
Cut a cardboard mat slightly larger than your print. Wrap it in linen, burlap, or velvet fabric, securing it with glue at the back. Mount your print in the center, then place the whole piece in a basic frame or shadow box.
Style tip:
Choose a fabric color that enhances your print’s tones. Neutral fabrics like beige, cream, or soft gray add sophistication, while bold fabrics create striking contrast.
