Favorite Photos on Display

Nothing adds personality to a room faster than displaying much-loved photos.

Want to make a statement using larger-than-life photos with graphic appeal? To create a display like this one, print out scanned versions of your photos onto water-slide decal transfer paper and attach them to blank stretched canvases (available at art supply or crafts stores in a variety of sizes and already mounted on easy-to-hang wood frames). If you want the artwork larger than simple letter-size transfer paper, use the tiling option on your printer to produce a set of 8 1/2x11-inch pieces that fit together like a puzzle. Don’t fret overlapping edges; the translucent quality of the paper allows for layering. Mix equal amounts of clear crafts glue and water to adhere the picture to the canvas. After you have the pieces in place, brush the entire surface with the glue mixture.
