Children’s Prayer Fabric Wall Art

This children’s prayer fabric wall art was created for a Silhouette sponsored post and contains affiliate links.

I love the project I’m sharing with you today and you’ll love how easy it is to make.  This sweet children’s prayer fabric wall art is made with fabric but requires no sewing, making it a simple creative project that anyone can make!  It’s also a great way to use up scraps in your fabric stash.

To make your own children’s prayer art, you’ll need coordinating fabrics, clean cut fabric Silhouette interfacing {heat and bond is a great replacement if you can’t find this interfacing}, and a base for the art.  I used burlap boards {scored for $5 each at the Wisteria outlet sale} but you could use a fabric covered board or probably even a canvas.

This project was made on a Silhouette machine but you can also make this project on a Cricut machine, adapting the instructions to be made in Cricut Design Space.

Once the supplies are assembled, apply the fabric interfacing to the back of each piece of fabric.  To apply it, you simply place the bumpy side against the back of the fabric and fuse it with the iron for two seconds.  It adheres quickly and easily.

If you’re using a heat and bond type product, it’ll be applied the same way but double check the manufacturer’s instructions before you start.

When it cools, the paper backing will easily peel off.

The next step is to cut the letters.  I used five different fabrics and alternated the letters.  

Silhouette recommends using a fabric blade so your regular blade isn’t dulled by other projects.  I also double cut when I’m cutting fabric to ensure that it cuts completely.  You may still need to trim a few threads when you’re separating the letters from the background.

If you’re using a Cricut Maker, use a fabric blade or a rotary blade with a fabric cutting mat.  You won’t need to double cut.

Once I had all of the letters cut, I used tape {cute washi tape, of course} to make temporary placement lines on the burlap board …

… and then laid out the letters until I had them arranged the way I wanted them.

I used the tip of my hot iron to tack down each letter then pulled the tape up and pressed the letters down to adhere them completely.

That’s all there is to it.  I hung the prayer art pieces side by side above the beds in Lila and Tate’s room.

The fabric I used in the prayer art coordinates with their no-sew name garlands and really completes that wall.
