Collage Canvas (IMG heavy) - Hobby Lobby

ashleyd · 12-15-2008, 07:45 PM

My great-grandma left me all these really old clothing patterns and they've just been in my closet because I don't know what to do with them. Well I went to a tour of homes last week, and one of the houses had this hanging on the wall. It was soo easy and I love how they turned out! I just cut up the old patterns and used mod podge to paste them on a canvas. I made these two to hang in my room.
(I left them big cause when I resized them you couldn't really see the girls)

This one's from 1960. It's my favorite.

And this one's from 1939.

I felt so bad cutting them up since they're so old. I still have a lot more of the patterns. I think I might frame a few to hang.

I love that idea, they would look soo cute in my sewing room, and I just gave away a heap of old patterns too damn.
