A few years ago, I got a big canvas picture to go above our desktop computer in our office. For a while I wanted to get something different but big prints are SOOO expensive so I decided to try to re-do the big canvas that I already had to make it something that I would like looking at while I sit at our desk.
I got a bunch of black, white, blue and red scrapbook paper at Michael's. Each piece was 12x12 so I cut them into 6x6 pieces (each piece of scrapbook paper make 4 squares). I laid out my paper into a pattern that I liked and then I modge podged the scrapbook paper onto the canvas.
The sides of the canvas were already black so I didn't have to paint them. This project took only about an hour from start to finish! Cutting the scrapbook paper squares was the most time consuming part. I used a paper cutter to make sure all of my edges were straight and using it saved a little time.
