Christmas Photo


This is an amazing project.  It does take a little time but it is well worth the effort!


Supplies are an 8x10 canvas, mod podge, tissue paper, and if you want yours to be over the top, a small set of battery operated lights.


Choose a photo on your computer that will be the picture in the final project.


Wrap tissue around a piece of card stock and insert into printer to print out your picture.


Allow to completely dry and then remove.  Next decide where your photo will be placed on the canvas.  You will then cover the CANVAS with mod podge and place the photo on top.  It is helpful to start at the bottom and work you way up smoothing as you go.


This is what it should look like.


Then coat the entire surface with mod podge.  Be careful because you can tear the tissue paper.  Allow to dry and you are finished.  IF you want to take it a step forward you will then need to punch holes in the canvas with a large needle or an illet setter.  


Put lights through and you are finished!

If you have questions be sure to email


Hope you enjoy!  And if you are in a bind for a Christmas present, you could do the same process with a photo of your children for your parents, or a scan an art project of your child's and apply the same way!

More Christmas- Wreath tree!


If you need some more room for your ornaments, or just want another decoration,  this is an idea for you!  Just hang a large wreath on the wall add lights and fill it with ornaments.  I added a ribbon at the top for a little extra!
