Picture Perferct

 
 
In less than 10 minutes I made a nice vintage picture decoration.


1. I started with a painting canvas and a picture printed on regular paper



 


 
 
2. I added 1 teaspoon Elmer glue to a 1/2 cup water
 

 
3. I applied the glue mixture to the canvas until it was quite saturated


 
4. I put the printed paper on top of the canvas and I dabbed the picture lightly with a paper towel until it stuck to the canvas
 

 
5. For a vintage effect, I tore off the edges of the paper
 


  
The grains of the canvas show through the paper creating the effect of a real painting.
