Faux Canvases

You may have seen here, that my family went peach picking last week.  I absolutely loved the way our pictures came out and couldn't wait to get the up on our wall. I knew I wanted them fairly large, but I didn't have a ton of money to put into the project. I really like canvases, but they tend to run a little pricey, unless you can find them on sale. Plus, with family coming in the following weekend, I needed something with a quick turn around time. I considered a modpodge project, but found these babies at the last minute when I was looking for cheap printing options. They are faux canvases. Basically, pictures wrapped around a cardboard frame. They can be wrapped with a gallery wrap, where part of your image is wrapped around the edges, or wrapped as a mirror wrap where your entire image is on the front of the "canvas" and the edges are mirrored on the sides. I chose the mirrored because I didn't have the space to spare on my image. The paper is thick, and textured just like canvas. You can't even tell that they are not real canvas when they are hanging on the wall. The best thing about these to an impatient person like me? (Patience is something I am constantly working on...) The turn around time is same day- SAME DAY!!! I love same day. They probably won't hold up in the long term like canvas would, but they are perfect for a quick fix that you know you'll probably swap out seasonally and I couldn't argue with the price. I'm normally not a Wal-mart shopper, but boy did they come through for me here! Without further ado, here's the finished product hanging on our freshly painted dining room wall.
