Luckily the actual image is public domain so I had my boyfried, who is a whiz at all things image editing take the image and make it into an 8 x 11" transfer for my Yudu.
I bought canvas from Michaels with a coupon that applied to sale items when they were already 40% off. The acrylic paint was less then 25 cents. I used the entire bottle to cover the canvas, since I knew I wouldn't be using it again.
I screened the canvas using white Yudu ink. I also made a matching t-shirt (pictured below). Just a few passes and it was ready to go!
I knew I wanted to frame my canvas print, but open back frames are SO expensive, even with a coupon! So, I found a super cute white frame on clearance at Michaels for $9.00, and simply took the glass and backing out. I think it fits the canvas perfectly and looks great. And all for waaaaay less then if I had bought a poster myself.
I am so happy with how this project turned out. I can't wait to use my Yudu for more home decor projects! Oh, by the way, Yudus are on sale until Sunday for $99. This is the lowest I ever see them go (I bought mine for this price a few months ago) so if you haven't gotten one yet, this is a great deal!
Speaking of Michaels, have you seen their new iPhone App? It is so awesome. It stores all of the store coupons right on your phone, plus has an event schedule for stores in your area. It's free in the app store!
