How to Mod Podge a Cow Print

Turn a free printable into a beautiful canvas! Cows are all the rage, so I thought I would make a few free printables and teach you how to add them to a canvas for yourself. Get the same look you would get from a home decor store for less! After all, no farmhouse is complete without some cow art.

What You Will Need

  • Cow printable (linked below)
  • Printer and paper
  • Mod Podge
  • Canvas in the size of your choice
  • Paint brush
  • Credit card or plastic squeegee

Instructions

  • Start by printing the version of your choice onto regular paper from a standard home printer.
  • After your print is printed, turn it over face down and center the canvas (upside down) on top of the print.
  • Then, fold up all four edges of the paper around the canvas. This is to be sure the print and the canvas size match up.
  • Remove the canvas and crease the print paper where those folds are located.
  • Add Mod Podge to the front of the canvas and place it (carefully) in the center of the paper.
  • Then, flip the canvas over so the print is facing you and gently press down on the front with a credit card or squeegee.
  • Add additional Mod Podge to adhere the sides to the canvas and fold the corners. Allow everything to dry, then your canvas is ready to hang.

Notes

Here are some tips for printing:
  • Print in "best quality" for the best results.
  • Print with no margins so your art goes all the way to the edge of your paper on all sides.
  • Measure your canvas and paper before printing to size appropriately.
