Transformation Tuesday~Canvas Prints

I got these canvas prints from Big Lots for $3. Wasn't a fan of the leaf picture but knew I could use them for something. I especially loved that the size was 12 X 12 (being a scrapbooker!) After some thought I decided to make my version of a canvas print.

Here is the back - I love canvas prints but they are so expensive!

I used flat black spray paint and spray painted the sides and around the top edge a little.

I enlarged some photos of Madison and converted them to black and white~printed them at Sam's for about $2 a picture.

Used a piece of 12 X 12 scrapbook paper to see where I should cut my photo. Originally, I was going to use Mod Podge to put on the back and front of photo. Then I changed my mind and just used spray adhesive on the back. I love Mod Podge and even though it dries clear it does leave a texture and I didn't want that for these particular photos. Either way would work though- just whatever is your preference.

Final product on my wall going up the stairs.

Now you see why I spray painted the sides? I love how they turned out and less than $6 a picture! LOVE!
