I got this idea from my friend Janelle. It's way cheaper than getting real canvas prints made. Although Costco has pretty good prices on them. But doing it yourself costs like $4. Maybe less. You just use Mod Podge to adhere the pic to the canvas and then cover the whole thing with 3 or 4 layers of Mod Podge. Pretty cool, huh?
Here's another idea: This lady (who I don't know at all) put them on wood boards and painted the edges black, and it looks awesome. Here's her tutorial.

I'm so glad you tried it and it worked for you...I might just have to try that out now :)
Those look so good, I'm going to try that.
i'm totally going to copy that idea. i'm getting geared up to start making a bunch of cool/cheap decorations after new years. my school has way cheap stuff and lots of choices.
those look cute, btw
i love that! so, how big is your canvas? where did you go to get your photo printed? i have 4 blank canvases and i would LOVE to copy cat your idea!
That canvas is just an 8x10 and I had the photo printed at Costco.
You should look into artscow.com . They are an online photo company. Their prices are really reasonable (the best out there) and once you sign-up with them, they email fabulous coupons. I got a 16x20 stretched canvas of our family shipped for only $15. Or sometimes the coupons are for two big canvased, but not stretched, shipped for the same price, $15. They have the cheapest prices for photobooks too. I order their coupon deals quite regularly.
oh my gosh I LOVE it! I was just about to order one from Costco but was having a hard time spending that much but I can totally swing that! Thanks!
It looks great! I'm going to try it out....
You just gave me a great idea for a RS meeting activity. Thanks!!!
love it. love it. i'm totally going to do it.
