Mod Podge a Poster

Well, the final preparations for the party are underway...

I chose to use a blown-up picture (poster) as the main display for Ross's (ice cream) party.

This is what I did...

Step 1: Get a photo blown-up to poster size (I did this at Office Depot for around $20) as well as a cut piece of plywood (from Lowes or Home Depot for $10...and you'll get A LOT of extra wood for future projects). You'll need to measure the size of your photo and get your plywood cut 1/2 to 1 inch larger for each measurement.

Step 2: Spray paint your plywood a corresponding color to your photo. I chose black simply because I put a black vignette around mine when editing the photo.

Step 3: Trim the white edges of your poster. (However, you could have painted the plywood white, and left the white edges...)

Step 4: Paint Mod Podge on both your plywood and the back of your poster.

Step 5: Using a roller of some kind (a rolling pin would work well too), roll out any air bubbles. I found that it helped to start in the middle and roll out.

Step 6: Paint Mod Podge over the entire thing. I did 2 coats.

And after it dries...this is what it should look like.

I'm dying to get it up at the party!
