Follow this step-by-step guide on how to make your own canvas prints that are both stunning and long-lasting.
Materials and Tools Needed:
1. A high-resolution digital image of your choice
2. A blank canvas in the size you want the print (available at art supply stores)
3. A printer suitable for printing onto canvas material
4. Inkjet-compatible canvas paper (rolled or pre-cut sheets)
5. Scissors or a cutting tool
6. Latex gloves
7. Craft glue or Mod Podge
8. Foam brush or paintbrush
9. Brayer or small roller

Step 1: Choose Your Image
Select a high-resolution photograph or digital artwork that will work well with the size of your canvas print. High-quality images with a large file size result in better-looking prints, so consider choosing an image with a resolution of at least 300 DPI.
Step 2: Edit Your Image (Optional)
Customize your chosen image using photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, to enhance colors, fix imperfections, and adjust dimensions if needed.
