Take those free printables you get from bloggers and Pinterest and make them into beautiful art on canvas.

How to Make Canvas Art from Free Printables - So Much Better With Age

Downloading free printables from bloggers is one of the ways we give back to our readers and our readers LOVE it! It’s sometimes a challenge, though, on how to display these beautiful free printables. I took the I Love Paris in the Springtime printable I made yesterday and transformed it into a piece of canvas art.

Let me show you how!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click to read my full disclosure policy.

Supplies:

  • printable (I used this one)
  • cardstock
  • scissors or paper cutter
  • canvas slightly bigger than the printable (I used a 9 x 12 canvas from the dollar store)
  • Mod Podge in matte
  • plastic container
  • small paintbrush or foam brush

Directions:

1. Download your printable onto card stock and cut any excess off preferably with a paper cutter to get even lines.

2. Make a mark on the canvas with a pencil of where the printable will be placed. Pour some Mod Podge into a plastic container and brush on a generous amount to the back of the printable. Then brush on a generous amount of Mod Podge to the canvas. If you don’t have enough Mod Podge on both, it will bubble and crease. 

3. Flip the printable over and smooth out. If you have a number of creases, place a book under the canvas (and in between the wooden edges) so you have some hard to smooth out on. Using your hands is best as the paper may rip if something hard is used to smooth it out.

4. Now brush a generous amount of Mod Podge over the top of the printable and canvas in even strokes. Make sure to smooth out but don’t worry if there are some small bubbles or wrinkles. If you’ve added enough glue, these will calm down and flatten as it dries. You can apply a second coat if needed.

    What a wonderful idea! I’m sure everyone would think this is a piece of art because it sure looks that way. It’s amazing how simple it is to make, yet how instantly makes a room more beautiful. I can’t help it but notice that your mirror is also gorgeous.

Instagram post 2166956522345413863_277411407 Garages aren’t the prettiest to look at but they do so many jobs. #ad Especially when you take your one car garage and turn it into an epic storage/workshop/ studio space! 💪🏻💪🏻 Our house is small and we needed just a bit more square footage for our tools, paint, shoes, an area to do DIY projects (um..instead of the dining room) and a space to store my light boxes for videos and a place for shooting videos. Not asking for too much, are we 🤔🤣 I’m blown away that we actually achieved all those wants/needs PLUS having lots of room to spare!! 😮 You must check out this tour and how you can get everything you need for a garage makeover from @bedbathandbeyondca. And hey, @addquast we lived to tell about it?! Blowing insulation into each wall cavity almost did us in 😂😂😂➡️ Check stories for the direct link. Also in my bio and under the Garage Makeover highlight under my bio 🔨 .

Instagram post 2162794567678539066_277411407 I have been wanting to change up my dining room a bit( a new table perhaps and wall moulding) but I still get questions of where I purchased this set. I bought it locally but found similar on Wayfair. They seem identical online! My chairs have grey fabric and I now can’t find the exact fabric online but the same chair only different fabric. ➡️ Shop this post for the links. http://liketk.it/2Gd1d Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to shop this pic via screenshot #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome
