I decided recently that my magazine frames were just not going to cut it anymore. So I bought some 4x4 canvas's to make the most of my project and guess what they were buy one get one so I got even more bank for my buck! I then proceeded to print the picture of my choice. I did these on just normal paper, but you can use printable vinyl as well. If you use paper like I did glue under first and smooth out the glue before applying the picture. I used mod podge for mine. I just recently bought a set of those crazy scissors, so I used those to make each pictures edges unique. If you want you can apply a coat of mod podge carefully over the picture to give it a glossy look. When I say this I truly mean it or else your picture will smear! You can apply a design around the edges. I just left mine plain for now!
Now I did a bunch of small ones, but what was really cool was I remember seeing paintings in a puzzle/canvas like fashion. I thought wouldn't be wonderful if I did it with one of wedding photos and I did! :)
It came out great don't you think! Basically I just glued the big picture over and then cute with a craft knife. The hard part for me was hanging it up.
