I followed the same steps as last week.
Step 1: get photo
Note: if you wish now would be a good time to paint the edges of the canvas or you can just leave it white as well.
My picture was smaller than the canvas so I painted a border as well as the outer edges.
Step 2: smear a thin layer of modge podge across the canvas. Then quickly place the photo face up on the canvas, using an old credit card to smooth out any wrinkles.
Step 3: once it has dried, smear another layer of modge podge evenly across picture and canvas if showing.
Et voila you have a beautiful canvas photo. Well after it dries and the white goes away. While it turned out pretty good I think I like the look and texture of it better when done with printed computer paper.
Unfortunately I haven't been having much luck with transferring a photo to wood. I'm still working out the bugs. I'll let you know the low down when I figure it out. Wish me luck.
P.s. I won't be posting on Thursday due to the holiday. So until next time, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
So cute! I'm sure your sister will be tickled pink when she sees it. Happy Holidays! I love your blog and I kinda wished you had done some Christmas related things but the DIY canvasas make great gifts as well.
