Two-Sided Canvas Photo

These Canvas Photos are all the rage right now and I wanted to jump on the bandwagon.  I’m so glad I did.  Mine is hanging in my basement and fits perfectly in our family room there.



My Better Half came up with the idea to make it a Two-Sided Canvas to get the most bang for our buck.
This is how we made it:
We bought a sheet of pink insulation and had an “industrial print” made of my two favorite pictures.  I had an industrial 3″ x 4″ print made at Staples and for black and white it was only around $4.  GREAT DEAL!
Using spray adhesive, I sprayed the back of the print…NOT the foam insulation.  Be careful for your over-spray as well.  I have an unusual line of adhesive on my living room carpet.  (Next post…how to get adhesive out of your carpet, just kidding…about the post, not the carpet!)

Lay it carefully on the foam and press out any bubbles.  This WILL require two people.  Don’t bother trying it on your own…it will be a mess! Then use a utility knife to cut off the extra foam.

Now take black (or whatever color you like) acrylic paint and sponge around the edges. ( I used a sponge brush and just dabbed around the edges.)

After this side dried, I turned over my foam and did the exact same thing on the other side.  My Better Half then made a hanger for this cord and inserted it into the top of the foam.



Now, I can keep this picture up for a while,

And when I want a change, just flip it over to this picture.



Pretty cool, huh?! I got some very valuable tips for this project from Sugar Bee Crafts.
Blessings,

    Best idea ever! I am so doing this. We don’t have a Staples, but I just found out we do have business that does this type of print; I posted about that today.

    Will you share more info on the “industrial print” you mention for $4. Because when I go to staples online the price is more like $24 for one print.

    Can you please post your answer on my facebook page? I just posted a link on it to this blogpost. http://www.facebook.com/egbphotographyinkc

    Thanks… I really want to do this for my niece!

    what a great idea to make it two sided – this would be great for seasonal decor too (Christmas on one side, Fourth of July on the other). This is one of those projects that was already great, and you made it Awesome-er.

      Hi, I went to Staples Online and was not able to find the industrial print in their choices. You could call their help number (1-800-333-3330) and someone may be able to direct you to it. It is an industrial print that they use for making blue prints. The cost for black and white is very inexpensive. The size is 3 feet by 4 feet.

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    The classy home is one of the popular online shopping stores in the USA.
    For instance, you can enter in the term ‘shirts’
    into a store’s search bar and the website’s search engine will give you a list of all the shirts that are available.

    So why bother with a particular website and want someone else
    to do these sort of SEO. That is why people guaranteed seo services see
    SEO consultants to come back and use properly. Really, most SEO firms
    retain a staff of writers who will make your site, and on.
