Look at the fun new display I have at my house:
I've been wanting to put something on the wall heading down to the basement...
I'm sure you've seen this idea floating around the internet. I did. I pinned it. I got the supplies. I went to work.
But let me tell ya....it's not as easy as it looks.
Try as I did to make sure that there were no crinkles and such, I still got some...
Little wrinkles that showed up after I tried to carefully smooth on the picture...
And poor Madison's photo. Kind of looks bad at certain angles & up close and personal.
But through all the faults, I still like them.
Here's how I did mine:
{Sorry. No Pics}
Supplies:
-Canvas. I went to Hobby Lobby and got some 8x10 canvas that they sold in a 2-pack. It was on sale. It was great.
-Paint. One tutorial I saw used Scrapbook paper to line the edges. I just went with some acrylic 50 cent paint. And with that paint, I painted the edges and little bit on the top.
-Pictures. I just recently took these pictures, and their my faves of the kids right now. I print out on my printer 8x10 copies of the pics. I did however have to trim a bit around; just enough for it to fit on the canvas.
-Modge Podge. This is what I used to adhere the photo to the canvas. I also did a coat on top for that all-around crafty look.
And that's that. A wonderful project to add to my home!
