To Toss or Not to Toss? What to do with a Ripped Poster

by L. E. Mastilock 2 Comments

My son ripped the corner of a poster that was on his wall

in his Mickey Mouse themed bedroom while jumping on the bed, which he’s not supposed to be doing!

Instead of throwing it out, I had the idea to Mod Podge it onto a blank canvas.

With my son’s help, we centered the part we wanted to see on the canvas and cut around it wide enough to be able to fold over the edges to the back.
We then removed the poster, and painted the blank canvas with the Mod Podge, stuck the poster onto it, and smoothed it down.
Then we turned it over and folded the edges over to tape them to the back with packing tape.
Last we painted a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the poster to give it texture, so when it’s dry it looks more like a painting.

My son was very proud of it and it looks even better than before in his room!

What are some upcycling projects you are proud of?

I miss the days when the kids would freely play ou I miss the days when the kids would freely play outdoors. Rocks & streams, sticks & flowers, their toys of choice. They're older now and drawn and to technology. They still have a love of nature, but it takes a push to get them to go outside and their play is different now. How do you get your big kids or #teens outdoors? ⁠
