Make your own Chevron Fabric.



Make your own Chevron Fabric.







You will need 

1. A long piece of paper to make your design (it can be newspaper). 
2. Pieces of thick cardboard so it doesn't get soggy with the paint (like a big pizza box). 
3. Spray paint. I prefer the ones with a regular spray nozzles, not the 360 ones because paint gets everywhere. Rustoleum brand worked better for me. And lite colors of paint on light fabrics are easier. 
4. Fabric. 
5. Cutter.



 Fold your paper accordion-style.

 

 
 

Cut any angle.




Spread it out and see if you like it.

 


Transfer to your cardboard




Cut




Put plastic over a table and secure your fabric.




Lay down your template, you can add some tape in the back, so it doesn't move.





Spray. DO NOT OVER SPRAY!, you don't want the paint to get under the template.




Wait a few seconds. It dries fast, but always check first. Lift your template and move it to the next section.





Wash your fabric to get rid of the odor. And enjoy!
