Today I am sharing a fun and easy project you can do to display your photos.
Yesterday I once again talked about my love for Instagram photos. I recently found a free app called Postal Pix. I downloaded it and within minutes transferred over my favorite Instagram prints and ordered them as 4x4 prints from Postal Pix. The quality is great and I knew I wanted to find a way to display them in our home. The most difficult thing was to decide which ones I wanted to display.

I had these canvases in my craft bin. They are slightly larger than 4x4 and I purchased them at Michaels many months ago from their $1 bin. They were originally made for kids and each of them have a pre-drawn design on them. However when you give them a couple of coats of paint...the design disappears. I painted them black using a cheap foam brush from Michaels.
Once the paint dried I just covered the canvas with a layer of Mod Podge using another foam brush, then centered the photo on the canvas and smoothed it down using a small piece of saran wrap... that way you don't get smudge marks on your photos. Once that dried I gave it two more coats of the Mod Podge.
Once they were dried I hung them on an empty wall at the entrance of our hallway. I love the way they turned out so much I did three more a few days later. Here they all are displayed in our house -
I cannot wait to Instagram some more and to order them from Postal Pix. I am hooked on this fun project.

I don't have a smart phone so I can't have the Instgram program to edit pictures...yours look great...I may have to get a smart phone just for that app. Thanks for the tip to add saran wrap so that the image does not get ruined. I saw your post at "20 Below". Your mini-gallery is wonderful.
