Transfer a photo onto canvas! All you need is mod podge, a sponge, a canvas, and a picture (no need to be on photo paper, works well on regular copy paper). Also, if you're using a picture with words, mirror it before the project as the finished product is flip-flopped.
Step 1: Spread a generous layer of mod podge onto the canvas with a sponge.
Step 2: Lay the picture face down onto the canvas. Smooth out any bubbles. Let dry. You might put a book over to make sure the paper doesn't wrinkle back up.
Step 3: Once dry, take a sponge(or your finger) and dampen the paper. Don't soak it. Begin peeling the paper off. You will have to use your finger to rub off the layers of paper. Repeat this process until you get the paper off. You might be surprised how much paper is on there but remember the finished look is well worth it!
Step 4: Once you get all the layer of paper off, cover with a layer of mod podge to finish it up!
Here's my finished product. I love the aged look it gives the picture. Might just be my favorite quick project to turn to for gifts (or just for my house...)!
