Love the prices of custom photo canvases as much as Lindsey Lohan loves to stay sober?
Yeah, me neither.
This is one of those projects where I'm not sure why I've never done this before?
I mean why is my house not plastered in DIY photo canvases??
Perhaps, you're in the same boat as me.
Well, don't let me insult your intelligence with this project but seriously a three-legged dog can do it.
There are instructions all over Pinterest land on how to do this ,but since you're here, I'll be a dear and just share. Can you tell I've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books lately?
I didn't take any pictures of the different steps because I have a baby and babies hate blogs but really it's quite easy to follow these instructions with out pictures.
First, go to your local photo retailer (ie. Walgreens, Costco, Staples, etc...) and order your prints in what ever size your heart desires. Second, cut your photo down to match canvas size. I used both a 16 x 20 picture and canvas but for what ever reason I still needed to trim a little along the sides of my photograph. Ready for the last step? Take your Mod Podge and slap it on all over the front of your canvas and then carefully lay your photo down on top. Smooth out any bubbles you may see.
That's it!
If you want you could paint the sides of the canvas black to make it look more authentic but I chose to keep mine white.
If you or your three legged dog makes one let me know how it turns out?
PS. The beautiful picture of my little bambino was done by the lovely Stephanie from Lemonade Stand Photography. You can follow her work here.
