Earlier this week I saw on HGTV a woman who put a poster on a canvas and it looked great. I remember how she did it, but I want to know if there are any additional ways to do it. So please give me any suggestion you have on the process and any tips to make it look as nice as possible.
the link below might be what you saw;
this can easily be done by painting a boarder on the canvas tacking the poster down with glue and then painting a polycoat over the top to seal it.
if you paint the polycoat with a brush in a criss cross manner it also leaves brush strokes that make the poster appear as if it were actually a painting.
hint: test your poster with the poly coat first – some poster inks will bleed away if they get wet.
go to hgtv.com and find the episode and type in the title of the craft and see if you get answers from other shows, also diynet.com
I wish I’d seen it, sounds like fun wall art project.
Transfer like in trace the design and transfer the outline and fill in, or print out a poster on to canvas at Kinko? I’m curious now and must go to hgtv myself!
