Seen this on pinterest and decided to try it. We're suspose to make our make xmas gifts this year and I thought why not. They turned out so nice that i'm doing a section of my living room wall. It was easy, just cut wood the size of photo you want to use, paint the wood. Let dry. mod podge the wood, lay the pic on top, remove any bubbles,let dry. Mod podge the top, let dry. Make you sure you cover the top with enough mod podge. Sand rough edges on side.You can make your mod podge by using half elmers glue and half water, mix well. Here's one one of the pictures I just finished.

I like it! What size picture did you do? I saw something similar on pinterist using foam insulation and printing a black and white photo on blue print paper.

Very nice. I've never heard of mod podge, though. What's the point?

It makes the picture really look like it was done on canvas, it took the shiniest off the picture and really brought the colors out. Here are a couple more pictures

The "mod podge" or your self mixture also serve as the 'adhesive' or bonding agent to hold the photo to the wood and the top coat provides a waterproof top layer to protect the finished product.

OK, I'll be the grinch here again. I've been researching this same thing looking for an alternative to EXPENSIVE canvas prints, and have also encountered this method. But...the ONLY similarity between this and a canvas print is that they're both glued to a backer. As far as quality or effect, not even close. Good night, y'all. :)

Did this (similar)years ago, except being a Custom cabinet builder we used to use 1x2 stock and make boxes (hence the box frame) you would get more depth with the box frame apposed to 3/4" solid stock, and cheaper... cover top of box with Masonite, route or sand flush with edges of box, Paint sides flat black or as we sometimes did, match the Formica or hardwood used in the kitchens we designed, then dry mount print, trip flush with razor blade, use a marker to color edge of print so it wasn't white. Some we made were more complicated using dovetail & finger joints at corners of boxes when using hard woods such as Oak, Black Walnut....stain or poly sides...If any one is interested, I can post a plan on how we made Box Frames.

I have tried this, but with the Tissue paper method. This method gives you more of the texture as you would find on an actual canvas print. It is not for the faint of heart and does take some trail and error to get it just right. They are fun gifts, I did one for my sister in-law when I did their newborn session.
