If you pin as much as I do, you probably came across this gem. I had no idea it would be so easy, but it really really was! If I can do this, anyone can do this.
Ian and I were looking for a way to display our first family picture. I was going to order a canvas print but it was expensive! Worse than that, it was really hard to create a canvas print in Shutterfly...sorry Shutterfly...you know I love you, but seriously. So, our picture ended up in a plain, old, boring, matte-less frame. So lame! So lame, in fact, that I shamefully displayed my beloved picture in a dark corner of our house.
Then it hit me...I pinned something that just might work perfectly. So off to Michael's I went. In fact, it was my first shopping trip with Denver. He was great! I bought Mod Podge and a gel medium...I had a super hard time finding the gel medium since I had no idea what it was or what it is really used for. Hint: check the paint aisle. Then as I was taking advantage of Denver's awesomeness, I stumbled upon a slice of a tree, bark and all, for $6!
Next stop, Staples to make copies of our family picture. I made a black and white and a color copy because I wasn't sure if one would look better than the other. While there, I also bought a date stamp for another project. More on that later.
That's it! Too easy. This is definitely a go-to project for gifts...you hear that friends and family? You might just get one with a big red bow one day!

I followed the super simple video step by step. First, gel medium and face down print...let dry over night.
Next, wet and rub off all paper residue.
Finally, Mod Podge.
