Want an easy craft to brighten your home? I found these kickin' prints on Etsy. Dark Island City has some awesome prints of cities on maps & dictionaries and these lovelies are $10 each! I just love them. I thought about going international, but I decided to stick continental since we already have tons of Paris & London items in the home. They're different, I love supporting "small businesses" (or etsy crafters), and sometimes I want something you can't get at Target (not that I am hatin' or anything).
The easiest craft part? Since they're 8 1/2 x 11, they don't fit the normal frame size (8 x 10). Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and other craft stores sell all sorts of canvas sizes, particularly 9 x 12. Add some mod podge and a brush and you have all you need!
I start with putting a little mod podge on the canvas and place the print.
I then cover the print so it sticks on the canvas and it gives it a little sheen.
Ta-Da! Now I have a lined staircase!
This is so cute!!!! :)

Those are cute and lovely! I always have problems with 8.5X11 items, sometimes I can get away with trimming them, but otherwise I'm never quite sure what to do. Great solution!
