DIY Canvas Photo Wall

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was working on my very own canvas photo wall.  I was browsing through pinterest one night and found this super easy tutorial and knew I had to give it a shot. I've also mentioned that I've been desperate for some wall decor so this was the perfect opportunity. 

What you'll need: -8x10 photos of your choice - I had mine printed at Costco -10 pack of 8x10 canvas' from Michaels -A foam paint brush

-Black acrylic paint

-Modpodge with a gloss finish

First thing you do is paint the edges of your canvas. You should also paint a 1" band on the front side of the canvas as well. 

(Apologies on the poor photo for this one)

Once your paint is dry, cover the front of your canvas with modpodge and stick on your photo. Depending on your canvas and photo, you may need to trim the edges of your photo by about an 1/8". Be sure to use and xacto knife to get a nice clean line. I trimmed my photos where needed before I attached the photo but you can also attach the photo and then turn over the canvas to trim.

Next cover the entire image with modpodge. Don't worry, the glue will dry clear and glossy. 

And there you have it, your very own photo canvas

And here are some more photos of the finished product.
