Canvas Picture DIY

I've been wanting to order canvas pictures to hang over my bed for the longest time. I went on a website (that I won't name), uploaded my pictures, entered the size I wanted with all the information, pressed enter to confirm my choices, but then, I saw the price $$$$. OMG, No... I was not ready to pay that much. The total price was over $100.00. Just to much for me.

So I did a bit of research on Pinterest and I found this amazing DIY Canvas Picture tutorial. The link got deleted but I was still able to reproduce it.

Here is how to do it:

I used:

3 canvas 12"x16" I paid 2$ each at the dollar store (you can get the size you want).

3 pictures 12"x16" (get same size as your canvas or cut them to fit) 25$ at Jean-Coutu for all 3.

Mod Podge (matte finish)

Black acrylic paint

1 big paint brush or foam brush

1 small paint brush

Step 1: Paint contour of canvas black. Let dry.

Step 2: Apply a layer of Mod Podge over entire canvas surface.

Step 3: Place picture on top of the Mod Podge and press down to make sure the picture sticks well to the canvas surface.

Step 4: Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the entire picture surface. Let dry.

Enjoy nice canvas pictures for a fraction of the price. I will make more for sure, for the family room and stairwell.

You have to try to make these. It's so easy and looks amazing.

Let me know if you like the results.

Thanks for reading.
