Photo Transfer To Canvas Wall Art

Pin It

Obviously, I have an obsession with my camera and the face of my kidlets. What better way to decorate newly updated master bedroom walls??

A few months ago, the ever crafty Mod Podge Amy featured this wonderful photo transfer art by Nitsa at Still Alive. It was the first time I’d seen this done using Mod Podge.

Then, Caroline, The Feminist Housewife, also featured a similar project using what looked to be a picture she printed out at home and gel medium. Every tutorial I’d seen before said to take your image and have it photocopied.

Why not put tips from both posts together: Mod Podge and an inkjet image printed at home. I’m wild, I know. I just figured it was the easiest thing for me…I had it all on hand. No running to Kinkos or Michaels for gel medium.

Guess what?? It worked!

Then, I added the words from a favorite old song, Forever Young by Bob Dylan. The lyrics are just priceless.

I printed the lyrics in Word using the “mirror image” option and transferred them using the same Mod Podge transfer technique.

I added a little flourish embellishment and some aging with watered down craft paint. To finish, I coated the entire piece with a coat of Mod Podge to seal it all up.

Hope you enjoyed my venture into unknown crafty territory! I will post a step by step tutorial soon!
