In wanting to decorate my new bedroom, I browsed Pinterest looking for wall decor ideas. And found a couple photo to canvas projects I wanted to try.
One of them I tried was this one – where you print your photo on tissue paper and then mod podge it onto a canvas.
(pinterest – a little bit funky)
Well, printing on tissue paper wasn’t quite as easy as described, at least with my printer. But eventually I got one that was “ok” and here’s how mine turned out. And I like it…
Another one I tried was this one…
(pinterest – A Beautiful Mess)
This time you print your photo on photo paper, and then using a gel medium attach it face side down to your canvas (you need to make sure the photo is reversible or print it in reverse). Then once it’s dry, using a spray bottle you soak the back of the print and rub off the backing paper. It turns out a little streaky, because sometimes little sections of the photo rub off also.
And here’s my interpretation…
I had planned to do this one using that method, but forgot when I printed it to print it in reverse. So I just mod podge’d it to the canvas.
And here’s a picture of them together on my wall…

Very cool- loved how that turned out.
Love those projects. They turned out great!
I just saw this done on The Chew not too long ago! Good work!! Love the effect.
Nice — I never would of thought of trying that. Thanks for sharing. Joining from Show You Stuff – http://allthoseartsygirls.blogspot.com/
I love how they all look together! Beautiful job!! The second one… did you print it at home or did you need to use a laser printer? I have only done this with laser prints, didn’t think ink jet prints would work as well.
Thanks, I had the second one printed at Kinkos on laser printer. From what I read, it won’t work with ink jet prints.
Neat! I’ve seen this idea on Pinterest and have wanted to try it – yours turned out great! I just love Pinterest… so many good ideas!
