So I have a bit of an obsession with pinterest.
There are just endless ideas...seriously. The list of things I want to make and do is endless...and ridiculous! haha!
When I saw this on pinterest I knew I had to try. I was looking for something more to do on the wall in my bedroom, but honestly wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. This was it!
I followed the instructions here to make my own canvases. Her instructions were soooo easy to follow...and look how cute they turned out! I love that by doing them in black and white it doesn't matter that the image isn't wrapped around the canvas (like the one I actually paid $60 for....).
Depending how hard you rub and how much determines how "distressed" your image will look. I tried not to make mine too distressed, but I love how hers look.
The most expensive part is the little bottle of gel that you use to actually transfer the image, but if you can find cheap canvases than this project really won't cost you that much. I think for my two canvases I spent $10 (they are 8x10 in size), but I have seen canvases at the dollar store so it could be even cheaper. And I still have lots and lots of gel (I can't remember the exact price, but I think the gel was around $10 at Michaels).

Aren't they fun???!! Now I can't stop thinking about what else I'm going to do....hmm...

p.s. Update! I went around the house and cut off the tags...just hoping I didn't miss any!! haha!! My sister was so proud of me :)

Wow. I am inspired! I got a kit to print my own canvasses for Christmas but I haven't decided what to do with it...........love what you did with the picture cluster (framed and canvas/ bw and color). Our basement is in the works and now i am dreaming of a photo wall for down there.
Nice work on the tags!!!!
Wow Kim! I love this!
Kim it looks amazing! I am sooo in love with Pinterest as well, way too much fun!
You did a beautiful job! I love the collage on your wall.
Hi there,
I saw this project on Delia's blog and I thought it was cute, but I didn't really want to do distressed. I love that yours are not so distressed. This is exactly what I want to do for my son's room. Thanks for showing me that it was possible. I was wondering how much you had to rub and how you knew you had done it so that it looked not-so distressed. Thanks!
