Want some inexpensive picture frames for your decor, but don't want the expense? Save your calendars and select florals, scenes, etc. to accommodate your living decor. You may have to crop and cut them to fit behind the 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 inch opening mattes. Buy cheap frames and you have your own inexpensive artwork. Great in groups of three in a hallway, etc. You will be able to afford to change them with the seasons for a different look! These make nice little friendship, hostess, or housewarming gifts too.
Note: I would not suggest selling these for profit as there might be copyright laws involved.

Can I transfer thick, textured calendar pictures onto canvas? If so, do I do a magazine picture transfer with gel medium or modge podge?
Thank you.
The best way is with a gel medium. You'll need to apply this to your canvas. When wet place your image on the canvas face down.
I think Modge Podge would work well, too.
I have also used matte medium to do this process. Just get it all good and wet and let it dry thoroughly and should be no problem
