DIY Photo Canvases

I got the canvases BOGO at Michael’s, so 4 canvases for $8.99.Then I got two scrapbook pages 2/$1. I then blew up 4 8×10 pics of kids at Walgreens for $11. Mod Podge, paper cutter, and thats it! Seeing as typical 8×10 photo canvases are $30-40 each, I think this was a marvelous idea! Oh how I *heart* projects!! I first covered each canvas with Mod Podge. Then, I cut the strips of paper, and pasted them onto each side of the canvas. (cut the strips and the photos a teeny bit shorter – you want there to be white space) Then I turned each picture over, coated it with Mod Podge,and carefully applied it to each canvas and smoothed everything out very good. Then I applied Mod Podge to everything. (its white, but dries clear)
