Part One: Photo Canvas Tutorial

This is my new updated DIY tutorial on making your own photo to canvas. This is so easy and fun!
Simple way to create your very own canvas.

[@Sodany21]

Hi Diane Just wondering have you ever done a Canvas with different size of photos cut up and put them together ? I like to also wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Good morning Sodany21 :) No I have not - but that would be a great collage to put together :) The process will be the same. Modge Podge the canvas so that the photos will stick to it. Then once dry apply a thin layer of the same modge podge on top and spray with clear acrylic spray to protect it. :) Thank you and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well .... :)

[@Sodany21]

Thank you so much Diane. I am in Melbourne so it is 11.39pm on Tues 24th Christmas Eve.

Just came across your tutorial, can’t wait to do this! Thank you for sharing this, you explained the steps very well, new subscriber😀

[@sharonaziz8160]

I enjoyed your video. I found smaller canvas and a small bottle of mod podge at Dollar Tree. I can practice for 2 bucks.

[@joycegossett9981]

You are doing a great job. Some people can’t understand nothing. You’re doing a great job.

[@nancywoolley3362]

You are by far the BEST video on this process. Your daughters are beautiful, can tell they take after you! Thank you!

[@tfox2309]

When you transfer photos you have to use plain paper. What type of paper do you use when doing this project? Photo paper?

[@4belladancer]

Photo she said she had it printed at Kinkos and also uses Costco

[@deborahhanlon2691]

The ones that don’t believe you,don’t have to do the craft. They will miss out! I sure appreciate this. Thank you so much ❤

[@angelarivas4051]

Thanks for your time you did a good work

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

So nice of you

[@LIVDALYF]

Whats the use of using Canvas when entire surface is covered with photo. Instead we can use cardboard for this project !!

[@UtahGmaw99]

Your girls are adorable. You make this look so easy. Thank you for doing this. I'm going to try a collage of the grandkids. :)

[@doracruz2271]

Aloha your girls are so pretty.was looking for how to do pictures to canvas thank you.of my Oahu trips when I visit my Ohana.

[@cicelysimmons5802]

Hi how are you doing I just subscribed to your channel iam watching your video right now you doing a great job

[@robertmahaney7650]

Being it’s on photo paper in your opinion how does it look in person as opposed to just putting it in a frame under glass. They look wonderful by the way and Thank you, Bob

[@levantedupreez9770]

What type of paper do you use? That looks like photo paper... Please.. this is amazing work

[@4belladancer]

You can get clear vinyl table covering on Amazon That's what I use not to chance ruining my table

[@lonneymarlow3371]

Thank you for this wonderful video your daughters are beautiful!

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

You are so kind

[@debigiddings9170]

Hi there, I want to compliment you on how I enjoyed your tutorial. You explained everything perfectly. I was just wondering if this process would work with posters, I have a couple that I want to have matted and framed but this can be very costly. What are your thoughts?

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

+Debi Giddings Aloha Debbie --- absolutely -- i actually have some posters for my son's room that i have been wanting to frame --- this is basically a process of decoupaging and the mod lodge protects it as well as adheres to the canvas or wood or other type of material :) I bought large canvas at michael's during their 70% off sale :) Good luck ...Diane

[@conociendoelmundo127]

thanks so much, you are very proffessional.

[@lagaringer]

I love his video! My wonderful and beautiful daughter in law made me one and it is on my office wall and I look at it all the time. : ) I can't wait to give this a go by myself. And look at you…You Look ADORABLE and so healthy. Love it, Love it, Love it!!! I hope you are feeling well.

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Thank you so much for your sweet words. :-) Making your own canvas is so easy -- you must have a sweet DiL to make you a very special gift. ;) --- Have a great Memorial Day weekend Miss LaGaringer ... and keep making those Uke videos -- you are so very talented!

[@rocarcastro24]

How long will this photo canvass last?

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Until today I still have it --- in perfect condition

[@Sodany21]

Thank you so much Diane. I think you used Gloss Mod podge right ? I can't tell you how much I LOVE your videos. I watched again and again ..may be until I get to make one soon. Best Wishes Maria

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Thank you for watching Maria :-) Yes I used Gloss but Matte is perfectly fine to use as well. --- it's so very easy to make. If you are afraid - start with a smaller canvas --- really cute to place on a metal photo frame holder on a desk at home or work. You are too sweet. :)

[@LottoJackpotWinner]

Kinko prints for $5.99, nice, cheaper than Walmart

[@gagafifty5068]

Winner wish i had a kinkos Walmart cost almost $13.00 for the 16x20 but Walmart photo paper lasts forever

[@denisemartinez6456]

TY for the craft - a- long video. I appreciate that you took the time to redo this video. I will be doing this pretty quick. Blessings y'all. It's really lovely and turned out beautiful. I'll be watching video 3 aka 2nd video lol😍😍

[@denisemartinez6456]

You can get these canvas packs at the dollar story..3 for 6.00 dollars I saw yesterday. Blessings and happy crafting

[@neek247]

does regular photo paper work or do u have to use a certain type of paper for the photos?

[@franciscaweber7132]

Thank you! What a wonderful way to show/share photos without spending a fortune! LOVE this!! Going to try this tomorrow!

[@lanahijab7427]

Honestly, I’ve been looking and watching for days for transferring a picture onto canvas/wood/ or tiles, I didn’t see any of them explaining everything like you do, you are quick and straight to the point, your videos are not boring at all, I am following you… Thank you very much for all the valuable information🙏🙏💕

[@jewelpotter6221]

Thank you so much

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

You're most welcome

[@dixiehornbaker6390]

Have you ever wrapped the photo around the edges?

[@petromil88]

Can I please have a detailed list of What I need and the web sites From where you bought canvas, please?

[@crystalmarascoable]

Can you print this on your home printer on photo paper? Thanks :)

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Crystal Marasco Any print will work :) Have a great day.

[@carolkarnoski6410]

Wonderful explanation of all your steps. Perfectly clear for a newbie like me. You speak very clear as well. Thank you so much.

[@fredmassey5934]

Laser print or regular print please

[@ntombekhayabaskiti75]

Beautiful work Mrs! Awesome job! thank you, so much for shearing❤️❤️👍

[@Faktulapa]

Hi, how are u? On what kind of paper did u print that pictures? Thanks :)

[@christopherkeoazurin5907]

i also have the same question.

[@chickencoop4439]

In the video she stated that she had it printed at kinko's

[@karenvella2727]

@@chickencoop4439 the video said she had it printed at Costco. I don't know what Kinko's is.

[@chickencoop4439]

@@karenvella2727 Kinko's is an office supply retail store, much like Staples or Office Max.

[@karenvella2727]

@@chickencoop4439 I didn't know how to reply. Thank you. I've never heard of Kinko's, but we have the other two stores.

[@priyadarshini4840]

Hey! Loved the video. I have this doubt though. I read in Amazon reviews that you should only use Mod Podge image transfer medium for using on a canvas. But I've already bought the matte finish one and I just wanted to make sure if it'll work too.

[@ChelseaLauren1312]

did you use laser printing or regular printing because I was told that If you just go print a picture from Walmart etc....that it wouldn't work I'm really wanting to do one of these for my mom for mothers day

[@lorifabria3156]

Focos the materials pls

[@reneemackabee2377]

Hello, I cannot wait to do this project for my wedding. I do this same technique on tiles and make coasters. Thank you so much for sharing. Never thought to do this. I was actually going to have them made at Costco. Again thank you for sharing. :)

[@happycamper8892]

are these regular prints on photo paper?

[@Findsuz1]

You are too funny! I love this tutorial, thank you. Can’t wait to try one myself.

Hi please, Can you give a breakdown of the products pls?

Respect ma'am, please mention the product you have used in the transformation

[@favoured_whyte12]

Lovely. How long does the canvas pics last? Do they fade with years?

[@justforyouenjoy]

Pretty girls you are very talented

[@Sodany21]

Thank you so much for the video. Do you print the photo in gloss or Matt finish? Which type of Mod Podge you used to cover the top finish of the photo ? You are very talented. ..i can't wait to make one for my daughter .

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

I always print with matte finish at Costco. And I used the same Modge Podge for the first and top coats. I hope this helps. :-) Once you start making one then you won't be able to stop. :-) Have a great weekend. ...diane

[@gagafifty5068]

You can use matte mod podge or gloss either one will do.

[@jewelpotter6221]

How do i find part 2 of this video please

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

I hope you were able to find it --- it's in the playlist.

[@k2irving]

can you see the canvas texture when using a photograph vs an ink jet print on copy paper?

[@ta6531]

Are the photo prints a regular photo print or is it a laser photo print ? Thanks !

[@jameslenartz8601]

Hi, what kind of paper is this? Is it photo or regular printer paper?

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

James Lenartz photo paper :)

[@janicewoods3072]

Your videos are very well explained, not everyone will understand, no matter how much you explain. I really appreciate your showing us how to do this. I just spent so much money on two photos that I sent off to have them on canvas. I’m going to try this, wish me luck.

[@evilsmiles99]

you're too ADORABLE! By far the better tutorials I've seen! Thanks so much!

[@louisestubois9241]

What size resolution for enlarging a digital photo?

[@IlluminaC]

we dont have a mod podge, any other medium that can substitute for the mod podge?

[@ellonysman]

How large can you go? Is it easy for large canvas's too?

[@sandraoneill5758]

Did you coat finished photo with a sealer?

[@iaiavao]

Aw you’ve got wonderful children

[@kathiecranston1577]

Very nice job explaining everything 😃

[@zaideemacias4671]

Hi...I love your tutorial...Do you think I can do it straight on my wall instead of on a canvas???

[@joenamorado6372]

Excellent video. Going to watch part two now. 👍

[@tarynh7060]

I don't have a cotsco near me:( every place I've gone to, to print my picture Is over $30 for ONE print in a 16 x 20! Ive tried staples, walgreens and my local printing areas. I already bought my canvas but the picture printing is so pricey! Do you have any suggestions? Maybe I'm telling them to use the wrong paper?

[@arielrobinson2]

I am a Sam's Club member and they allow you the option to ship it to your home. I paid $5.96 for a 16x20. I picked it up but it can be shipped to you.

[@BunnyCates]

try snapfish dot com. their poster sized prints were only $6 the last time I looked.

[@tinamariemalinowski2745]

is the pictures a gloss or matt finish

[@donnabellevicente2751]

Lovely daughters.❤

[@isabelcastaneda7439]

Hi! I have been thinking about doing a collection of pictures that I have of my daughter and my husband and I all in canvas. At first, I wanted to just get every single picture frame in black or any traditional frame color. But I really like canvas and I want to know if it last longer with time or the other way around. What do you think>

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Isabel Castaneda Aloha Isabel ... The first canvas I did of my children was 3 years ago ... I wipe it down with a damp cloth to clean the surface .. until now it has not faded ... I am still happy with it :-) The traditional black and white with frames is also nice throughout the home. I say mix it with canvas and frames to give it a nice variety ... :) Mahalo ..Diane

[@skiprogers591]

+ASimplySimpleLife also the Polyurethane fills the pores so no bacteria enters. This helps preserve the painting or transfer in our case.

[@Stancie168]

Hi thanks for the great tutorial. I'm wanting to try different sized photos onto a canvas with a large photo in the centre and smaller sized photos surrounding it. My canvas is quite large however it has a wood cross support at the back of it. Would this come through the photos ? especially the one in the centre? Would appreciate your input thanks. :)

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Aloha Stancie -- Sounds like an amazing project in the making :) This is not a "photo transfer" so there would not be an issue with the wood bracket showing trough from the back. The thickness of the printed photo will be sufficient to cover it up :) This photo that I did on this tutorial is still in my daughters room to this day --- just seal it with a clear sealer to make it last. I hope this helps. *****

Great! Thank you very much. Looking forward to finishing my project. Fingers crossed :) Nga mihi nui

wow your photos are so nice that they look wonderful on the canvas mines don't look that nice haha. but great tutorial.! so much better then the others where you have to wet and rub the paper away.

[@evenstar04]

At least the rub away ones, look like a real photo on canvas. This is just a photo glued to canvas, with no canvas texture. What's the point, if you don't see the texture? This is just stupid, to praise anyone, for doing nothing.

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Costco has it for $5.99 :)

[@j3lly0311]

+ASimplySimpleLife Okay but doesn't that mean that I would need a Costco membership? That's just the same if not more money

do i need the costco membership to get the same price?

the lazer print or ink jet print

[@ASimplySimpleLife]

Either one will work just fine :)
