Family Photo Wall

We had some family pictures done when we moved 
and I FINALLY 
got a round to the project of putting them up!

We have a huge (long wall) 
in our living room so I printed 
6 8x10's and
 1 poster (24x36). 
Thank-goodness for costco!
 So convenient! 
They were all ready the next day!

I got a great tip to buy canvas' at the dollar store for 1 buck! 
So I put all the 8x10's on canvas.

This project is super easy
and it turned out great.
AND
it saved me money!


You will need
1) photos
2) canvas
3) modge podge
4) foam brush
5) canvas
6) scissors
7) scrapbook paper



Apply a layer of modge podge to the canvas.
Stick photo on canvas.
Let dry for a couple minutes.



Cut a strip of the scrapbook paper the thickness of the canvas.
Modge Podge on.
 {I found that 1 piece of 12x12 did my 6 8x10's but I had to be really careful and some of my edges are pieced with smaller bits}


Apply modge podge over photo.
Put canvas or other textured material over glue
Peel off after rubbing it on the photo.



Let the glue dry and hang.
