Canvas Mounted Photos

Canvas Mounted Photos

This is a super easy project that makes a huge statement in your home!

What you will need:

1. Six 12x12 inch canvases

2. Mod podge

3. One foam brush

4. One sanding block

5. Three 12x12 photos

6. One roll of ribbon

These are half inch thick 12x12 canvasses. If you can find one inch thick ones, then you will only need three canvasses. I found a sale at Michael's for seven half inch thick canvasses for $12.99. Each one inch canvass was $22.00 so I figured it would be much cheaper to glue two canvasses together to get the depth I want.

Step 1: Begin by covering the canvass with a layer of mod podge

Step 2: Press your photo onto the canvass and smooth it out. You can lay another canvass face down on top of your photo for a few minutes to keep the photo flat as it dries.

Step 3: Repeat step two by pouring more mod podge on top of your photo and painting it on in a uniform layer. Make sure all strokes go in the same direction!

Repeat steps 1-3 on your other two canvasses

Tip: Don't overstroke the mod podge or it will start pilling on your picture.

Step 4: Grab your super glue and begin dabbing on a LITTLE bit around the edges of the canvas.

As you go, you will be pressing down your black (or whatever color you picked) ribbon around the edges, making sure to line it up with the front of the canvas.

Don't worry if your ribbon is too wide. We'll get to that afterwards!

Continue step 4 on all four sides of the canvass

Step 5: Glue down the excess ribbon that is hanging over onto the back.

You're finished! Now find a nice place to hang them and a fun way to arrange them. Enjoy!
