I love the look of canvas prints. The only downfall is the price. So I began looking for an alternative way to get the same look for a lot less. I came across The Sassy Pepper blog, and loved what she came up with!
Materials:
Pre-stretched canvas
Paper cutter or scissors
Decorative paper
Photo
Two Paint Brushes
Mod Podge
Towel
Acrylic/Craft Paint
Step 1: Measure the sides of your canvas, and cut your paper to fit.
Step 2: Cover your canvas with Mod Podge and allow to dry. This will take about 20 minutes.
Step 3: Apply Mod Podge to the sides of the canvas, and the backs of your pre-cut paper
Step 4: Put your paper on your canvas, making sure to smooth out any bubbles. It is okay to leave some space on the corners, tops, and bottoms because you will be painting over this section. When I did this process again with my other photos, I decided to overlap the paper, so the corners were covered. I liked this better :]
