Diy Stuff Photograph Wall Art

Hey friends! To get-go things off, I wanted to THANK YOU all thus much for your sort comments hither as well as on Instagram nearly my Joss as well as Main sale. You all stimulate got been thus encouraging as well as supportive as well as happy to part inwards my excitement. If you lot didn't acquire a direct a opportunity to stance the sale yet, you lot tin plow over the sack sign upward hither (it's gratis to join) to travel able to banking concern fit out my collection as well as other sale events. I intend it has some actually fun, unique pieces...even a headboard similar to the vintage i I simply set inwards my daughter's room! My termination volition remain opened upward until Tuesday.

Today I'd similar to part a projection that I did to complete upward my daughter's room makeover a few weeks ago.

When I planned to brand a few changes to her room, i of the things I wanted to address was the huge framed poster photograph over her bed. I dear the photograph as well as the gallery wall, but safety-wise wasn't sure nearly that heavy drinking glass frame hanging correct over her head.

I idea nearly printing the photograph onto a canvas, but wanted something a chip to a greater extent than substantial than that. So, I decided to stimulate got the photograph out of the frame as well as brand a wall hanging out of it. However, I wanted to seal it somehow to protect it.

I planned to mountain the photograph on a slice of fabric, but inwards social club to plow over the photograph a chip to a greater extent than stability I mounted it to to a slice of mat board cutting to the same size. Then, to protect the photo, I used Mod Podge over the top. I used a mixture of Brush Stroke as well as Regular Mod Podge (about 1 to 1). The Brush Stroke is a chip thicker as well as gives a piddling to a greater extent than texture to the finished project. But, you lot could sure purpose direct regular modern podge.

After mixing my ii glues together, I poured inwards it a smaller roller tray as well as used a foam roller to apply it correct over the transcend of the photo. Once I spread a piddling gum on, I whorl inwards i direction across the entire photo, working on a department at a time, making sure to acquire the gum all smoothed out without leaving whatever streaks from the border of the roller. It volition travel cloudy as well as volition await similar in that place are lots of bubbles. It's ok! Everything volition dry out perfectly clear, although in that place volition travel a chip of texture.

My gum was sort of old, thus in that place were a few dried chunks when I rolled it out. I carefully removed those amongst my finger as well as rolled dorsum over that spot. Pay special attending to brand sure in that place are non pieces of fuzz anywhere, peculiarly on faces, skin, as well as lighter spots. They volition demonstrate upward when it dries (lesson learned from a previous project).

The gum dries apace as well as I've institute that i coat is sufficient for this project. I commonly terminate upward amongst extra glue, thus I simply continue that inwards a modest rubbermaid container as well as it keeps perfectly good for the side yesteryear side project.

Working amongst the moisture gum did curl the ends of my photo/mat board upward on the ends a piddling bit, thus later nearly a twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia when it was skillful as well as dry out I weighted it downward amongst some books to flatten it dorsum out.

For the slice of fabric, I measured the finished size that I wanted , as well as and then added 1" to each side as well as nearly 3" each to the transcend as well as bottom to allow for finished edges. Along the sides, I used a strip of new-sew record as well as simply folded them nether earlier pressing amongst an iron. Then, I folded the transcend as well as bottom nether as well as hot glued them down, leaving an opening for a dowel rod to slide through.

After the cloth edges were finished, I hot glued the photograph board to it, making sure to middle it carefully. Then, to construct clean upward the edges as well as add together a piddling to a greater extent than fun I glued on a ribbon border around the photo. Add some string, jute, or ribbon to the transcend as well as it's cook to hang!

Now I'm non worried nearly the possibility of a huge sheet of drinking glass crashing downward on her inwards the middle of the night...

The other pictures hung around it are ii favorite pieces of artwork that she made several years ago, as well as ii quick abstract paintings that I made.
