Friends, I can’t wait to show you one of the things I made hubby for Father’s Day! {Here’s hoping he behaves and doesn’t come peek!} I am crazy-excited about this! Here it is…
Yup, you read that right. A gorgeous wrapped photo canvas you make yourself at home!
Here’s how it all started. Before we left for vacation, I got an email asking me if I’d like to review some fun products. I get emails like that pretty regularly {one of the best perks of the job!}, but more often than not, the product isn’t a good fit for my family and you guys, so I don’t accept. But this time, one of the products in question was these Do-It-Yourself Photo Canvas Wraps from YouFrame. I was totally intrigued, although I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical about how they might turn out. When we returned from Myrtle Beach, the package was waiting for me.
STEP 3: Center frame on photo and press firmly to adhere.
STEP 4: Make a diagonal cut in each corner and fold edges over onto adhesive.
STEP 5: Fold edges together and latch in place. I’ll admit this was the scariest step for me. I was afraid that either the canvas would rip when I tried folding up the sides, or that it wouldn’t be taut enough to look good. Surprise! It worked just the way it promised. The canvas looks just as tight as a professional one, and there were no rips, tears, bumps, or bubbles.
I love the wrapped look; you can see how the photo continues to the edges of the frame. I added the desk stand to the back so that hubby can display it on his desk at work, but you can easily remove it and hang it on the wall too!

Awesome! I wonder if they make larger kits. We had family portraits done last summer and I’d love to do some canvas wraps but for my big wall, I need at least 11×14… I’ll have to check them out. Thanks Amy! Great picture 🙂

Amy this is so cool! I never knew a person could create their own canvas wrapped photos…I thought you had to go to a store to have this done! THANKS!
Eva Scott says

Nice-looking canvass. You make it look so easy to make. Thanks a lot for sharing. I have a good idea picture I’ll use for my own canvass. Hope it’ll turn out as good as yours. 🙂
