Step 1
I grabbed about 5 magazines and cut out words or short phrases that caught my attention.
Step 2
I then brushed a light coat of the all-surface Mod Podge onto a small section of the canvas and started placing my words randomly. This took me about 45 minutes. Once the Mod Podge was dry I brushed a light coat over the entire canvas.
Step 3
I wanted to finish off the edges a bit so I grabbed my black electrical tape and wrapped it around the canvas.
Step 4
Then I added silver thumb tacks on two edges for a funky effect.
Step 5
...
Step 6
I don't have magazines in any of our bathrooms because I want you in and out, thank you very much. So this is a tongue-in-cheek way for me to provide my guests with some "entertainment" in the loo.
