So a couple months back when I was designing my Laundry Room Makeover, I created these Mod Podge Canvas Photo Prints to hang in my space.

oversized clothespin photo holdersI gathered my supplies:

  • Oversized Clothespins (purchased from Hobby Lobby)
  • Paint
  • 5×7 canvas boards
  • Mod Podge
  • 5.25 x 7.25 inch paper printouts of photos
  • Scissors
  • Foam brush
  • Flower embellishments

printed photos for clothespin photo holdersI found three photos that I wanted to use for this project and printed them out to 5.25 x 7.25 inches. I trimmed them out and Mod Podged them onto the canvas front.

fake canvas prints from photographsJust make sure the prints are a little bigger than the canvases so you can wrap the photo around the edges. Just take an exacto knife or scissors and trim out a little niche from the edge. This will create a clean fold around the canvas.

    I keep seeing those over-size clothespins and should pick up a few — they are so cute!

      Aren’t they adorable? I need to find another way to use them. So cute!

    i really want to try this, you actually used regular copy paper with inkjet printer?
    I was reading your post about doing canvas art prints and you suggested to use a laser printer…

    Did you seal the paper before putting on canvas?
    Thanks in advance.

      Sorry, it was a misprint. Just a normal inkjet printer! No need to seal the paper either!
