  Step 1

  What you need:
  Canvas - I found this itty bitty canvas with a cute easel on sale, it came out to around P50 (around $1)

  White wrapping Tissue

  Mod Podge - I used gloss finish.

  Printer

• 

  Step 2

  Cut your white Tissue to size, it should be smooth to print on easily. If need be - take a few extra minutes to iron it smooth.
  Leave space for a border.

• 

  Step 3

  After editing your photo to your liking & selecting the correct image size option on your printer.

  Tape your tissue to a piece of printer paper, make sure to tape it all the way across where the paper feeds into the printer.
  This way it feeds through smooth & you don't get a terrible paper jam.

• 

  Step 4

  Carefully cut your photo out.
  Be very gentle since the tissue will rip easily - I ended up needing to print my photo twice because I wasn't gentle enough the first time :(

• 

  Step 5

  Apply a layer of mod podge onto the canvas.
  Carefully place your photo on top & let it dry for a few minutes.

  Apply more layers of mod podge on top, if you're doing more than 1 coat, let dry in between coats :)

  Step 6

  Let Dry & Put it on it's adorable little easel

Hi
I really like the idea of the canvas print. I have a question. How much is the transfer paper and where did u get it from.
Thanks
Brooke

In the tutorial, she only used tissue paper taped to a piece of regular printer paper. Hope that helps!

This is great! But I have a question. I have a lot of canvas fabric on a roll. Could I just print the photo directly on to that?

I'm really not sure :0 It would depend on your printer I suppose, but I know mine would have a heart attack
I found this link about printing onto canvas for inkjet - I hope it helps! Please let me know how it goes if you give it a shot!
