Make your own photo canvases (for much, much less than the professional ones)

Posted on February 14, 2015 by heatherlauraclarke

Just popping in quickly to share this weekend’s project in The Chronicle Herald (available online, too).

I made these cute photo canvases for our dining room, because I pretty much had a STROKE when I saw how much the professional versions cost.

Psssst, I even show you the trick for getting the canvas texture that the professional ones have. Check it out, will you?

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
