Canvass prints are very nice room decorations, but they don’t come cheap. You surely have to shell out a decent sum of money to own one. If you are thinking of having a personal photo featured on a canvass, you might need a huge amount of money for that.
Have you ever thought of making your own canvass to save a great amount of money? You can make your own cheap canvass prints and even earn from it.
To do that, here are some simple steps that you need to follow:
- Choose a picture that you want to feature or choose a subject and take a picture of it. Make sure that you choose the largest picture size when you take a picture to ensure it won’t pixelate when printing later.
- Edit the picture if you need to. Make it look just like what you want it to appear on a canvass. If you think there is no need to edit and your picture is just the way you want it to appear, and then proceed to printing.
- Feed a canvass size photo pater or tarp into the printer and choose the canvass size on the options to maximize the print result. If you don’t have your own printing equipment, you can take your photo to your trusted photo processing center and let them do the printing for you.
- Your new but cheap canvass print will now be ready for your purpose. But to ensure that it will really look like a real canvass portrait, frame it. For this, you may choose to buy a ready-made frame that is huge enough for your canvass print or make your own frame.
- To do that, you are going to need canvass size plywood or good lumber, a canvass size glass or plastic, and some very small nails. Put the frame together with the use of those nails and place your cheap canvass print securely on the plywood for support.
- You may have to nail down the edges of the picture at the back of the frame to prevent it from slackening. When you are done, place a hoop at the upper middle part of the back of the frame. This will serve as the hooking part of your frame.
Nail down a hook on your wall and place your new but cheap canvass prints in a frame there.
