pinterest project: photo canvas


i have always wanted pictures of me and kyle on a canvas, but when i looked at online stores that provided that service it was always super expensive-my wallet cant afford that kind of spending. so when i saw these pins on pinterest i was beyond excited. i was even more excited when i realized how easy it was and how i can have my own personalized canvas hanging on my own wall in less than an hour! i didn't do anything fancy, like add scrapbook paper to the sides or make it look distressed, but i will in the future.



after me and kyle took professional pictures with the wonderful heidi phillips of hp photography we decided to spice up our walls with some of the pictures that were taken. we got photos printed and shipped right to our door through mpix.com for a great price and the pictures were of a great quality. 

so let the fun begin, here are the supplies you need:
one. 12  x 12 canvas
two. 12 x 12 photo
three. matte modge podge
four. sponge brush


apply one layer of modge podge to your blank canvas,
add the photo to the top of your canvas while the modge podge is still wet and sticky,
once you have the photo on the sticky modge podge,
you will apply another layer of modge podge on top of your photo

when the milky color is all gone that means its dry. so hang it  up and enjoy!
just lovely.

see, that was so easy.
now go home and try it.

from my home to yours,
jilly
