St Vin's find for my lounge room wall DIY

I went on my fortnightly pilgrimage to my fav St Vinnies' charity shop and found this 100% cotton silky hot pink batik print dressing gown. Only $8.75. (Sorry about the before picture below, I am always so gung ho about getting the project underway and completed that I always forget to take before-shots. The photo below therefore, is after the scissors has had its way.)



Went to the closing down two-dollar store near me and picked up a canvas block for $4.50.

Stapled and stapled and here we have another addition to the walls!



Yet to hang... haven't decided on positioning... and need to get me more of those 3M velcro picture hooks.
