Transferring A Photo To Canvas

[Jennykenny]

Is there an easy way to transfer a photo to canvas d-I-y at home yourself?

You can get A4 canvas for ink jet printers, the results look quite authentic but the surface is very susceptible to the tiniestwater splashes. They cost abou £1 each and come in packs of about 10.
The link below will show you some of what is available

Are you a member of Pinterest, there seem to be a few tutorials on there, I'll try to find the websites and post a link.

Many thanks to everyone.

Ref Pinterest, yes great, but they keep mentioning Modpodge for this but have no idea what that is in the uk. Any suggestions??

Hobbycraft sell it I think, also Amazon and Ebay. It has been mooted that it's plain ole PVA but I'm not sure.
