In my kitchen I covered my electrical panel with a 24"x36" piece. Very economical but looks great. I love this and have used it in my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

I really enjoyed reading this tutorial, I'm about to mount some fabric as panels from Cicada Studio =) in my kitchen, and for the price I paid per yard, I'm going to make sure it can last for years! here is cicada studio's website: http://cicadastudio.net Just a reminder- If you are planning to keep your fabric panel for years and years, or it’s a collectible textile or something you think might become valuable— SEAL the wooden stretcher bars because unsealed wood emits acid which can many years in the future discolor your fabrics!

It reminds me a project that was done in my country (Cuba) many years ago in which a group of artists actually created designs for textiles. People could actually wear works of art!! This is great!!

It is already square then and you just have to cut out your fabric and secure it so that the corners are neat.
