Love the look of canvas prints but not the price? Yeah, you can get a good deal on a canvas print sometimes but usually, they are pretty pricey. You can create a canvas look for a fraction of the cost. And it's very easy. Here's how I did it!
Supplies:
• 8x10 Canvas (craft store, Walmart, big lots has them too) You can pick these up for $2 or less!
• 8x10
Photo/Print printed at a photo lab. (Costco is the best!)
• Paint Brush
• Paint to match your print.
• Mod Podge
• Scissors or Paper Cutter
Let's get started, shall we? If you'd like to use our print you can get it
HERE. Don't have a photo of this step but trim your 8x10 print to fit your canvas. It's not much, just enough so your photo will not hang over the edges of your canvas.
Paint around the entire edge/sides of your canvas. Go ahead and cover just a tiny bit of the top edges too. I give mine 2 coats for good coverage. Let dry.
Once the paint has dried add a layer of Mod Podge to the entire surface of the canvas and stick on the 8x10 print/photo. Basically, you're gluing it on.
It should now look like this.
Next, cover the entire photo with Mod Podge. Also, be sure to cover the sides that were painted earlier. (Try not to be jealous of my lovely manicure hehe!)
Here's a close up for some detail. You will see the brush strokes when it dries. I personally like them, makes it look like maybe the canvas really is painted. But if that's not your thing smooth them out as much as possible. Let dry and use your best judgment as to whether or not you need a second coat of Mod Podge.
Let dry and display as you please. Looks great on an end table or hang on a wall.
