                    Hi
Ive decided to get some art for my walls on canvas, but I want to use my own photo's/art.
I know I can get another company to do it for me, but they are quite extortionate. Im fairly good with the woodwork aspect of it, but does anyone know how to attach a pic to the canvas? Would I have to paint it, or just get a large print and stick it on?
Any help of advice would be appreciated!

            Jo, this might help you out,

Will print the canvas for you, you can have them stretch it onto a wooden frame or you can do it yourself and save some £££. With A2 size prints costing around £7 they seem pretty good value...
As for printing direct, I'm fairly certain you'd need a reasonably decent printer or possibly a very specialist one (thinking about the thickness of canvas). A transfer \ sticker might work, but then I'm not sure how that would stretch....

            hmmm, didn't look at the delivery, but believe me I did a comparrison to other sites printing to canvas and these are WAY cheap. (the nearest competitor I could find charged around twice the amount for the stretched ones.)
