Angela Decorates: Jazzing Up an Old Family Photo

As I continue to put the finishing touches on the sitting area outside my craft room, I thought I would share a little project I just finished. Months ago I had this black and white photo of my grandmother (my Memaw) blown up onto canvas using Canvas on Demand. It measures 30 inches wide by 40 inches long. I love the casual glamour of this picture of my Memaw. She was an incredibly special woman in my life, whom I miss very much.

After deciding where I would display it, I had the idea of glittering her corsage. I would advise doing this kind of project on a copy and not the original of an old family photo.

The first thing I did was take an old paint brush and paint Mod Podge all over the corsage.

To add the sparkle, I chose extra fine glitter from Hobby Lobby. The color is Petal Pink. Isn't it fabulous? Pink and glitter!!!

I generously sprinkled the glitter over the mod podged corsage on the canvas. I then went back and touched up some places I missed with some additional Mod Podge and glitter.
