Make your own photo canvas

Quick and (pretty) easy - make your own photo canvas.

All you need is some canvas, mod podge (check how the Namibians write that :-) ), tissue paper, and a printer.
Nachtrag für meine deutschen Freunde: Tissue paper ist Seidenpapier und nix zum Nase putzen :-).

Print your photo onto the tissue paper. I ironed the tissue paper first, and then glued the corners to a normal paper
to print. This didn't go too well. The tissue paper got quite crumbled during printing.

Next I fed the tissue paper into the printer without a backing, this worked much better.
The printer I used is an ink jet printer, but I guess a laser printer will also work.

I then put a thin layer of mod podge onto the canvas and carefully put the tissue paper on top, smoothing out any
wrinkles.

Then I used another thin layer on top of the picture. Unfortunately this made the ink bleed.

After the glue has dried, cut off the paper sticking out over the canvas:

 

To make the edges look smooth, I stuck some washi tape around the sides:

Another Christmas present possibility :-).


Have a great day!


Lots of love,
