Supplies for Canada Day Wall Art:
8×10 print of the Canada Day wall art
8×10 canvas
Matte Mod Podge
Foam brush
Sand paper
Make your own Canada Day Wall Art:
1. Click here to download the Canada Day wall art then order as an 8×10 print from your favorite photo lab.
2. Purchase an 8×10 canvas from your local craft store and gather the rest of your supplies.
3. Paint your blank canvas with red or blue craft paint. Paint edges and direct brush strokes to the center of the canvas. Don’t worry about covering completely in the center as this part will be covered by the print. Allow to dry.
4. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the front of the canvas. Place Canada Day print on top of Mod Podge layer. Smooth out any wrinkles with foam brush.
5. Apply a generous layer of Mod Podge on top of Canada Day art print smoothing out any wrinkles as you go. Keep brush strokes straight and even if possible. Cover edges of the canvas with Mod Podge as well. Allow to dry.
6. Once the Mod Podge has dried completely, lightly sand the edges of the canvas to create a worn effect.
If you want to keep things even simpler, you can order the 8×10 print pictured above, throw it into a frame and call it a day! I picked up this cute frame at Walmart for about $10 and the 8×10 print cost $1.49 at Costco. Inexpensive, simple and perfect for July 1st!
