Give any current photo a time worn look by creating this monogrammed antique photo canvas. All the pictures we take nowadays are so crisp and clear. It is a complete contrast to how pictures used to look back in the day. While it’s great to have clear photos, a vintage image is nice to add to your collection. Debbie Saenz created this adorable project using Apple Barrel paint and Mod Podge. This is a very simple project that will only take an hour to make.
