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.
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.
what is the link to the similar project you did? I’d like to see it too. Thanks, Elizabeth
Love this idea and the pictures you chose!
Great idea, I never though of doing that. I have a link party, and I would love it if you would link this post. You can find it at

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!
Your project feels perfect for summer! Give yourself a huge pat on the back. Well done!
Great idea, I love the two pics of your children. The whisper is awesome. Found you at One Project at a Time.
That is really clever!!! I am now thinking on the one sided canvas' I have made so far. I didn't make it with insulation, but maybe it can still be done…now you have me thinking! Thanks!
I love the idea! I have a picture frame for smaller pictures that I can reverse, but being able to flip such a large picture is even better!
That's amazing!!
Great idea! Love that it is 2 pictures in 1!
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.
Super fabulous! I love that you used a piece of insulation and that you did both sides so that you can flip back and forth. Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
Carrie

Hello- I love this Canvas- I dont have a Staples in our area but I was online and was wondering if you could look at Staples online and tell me what I would order to get the same size print? Thanks for your Time and Your Inspiration!!!!!Amber
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 dream would not be just just one place. Just having the money and ability to travel and see it all.
