I used this article from DIY Magazine Winter - 2007 for inspiration.
This is what I did...I needed some rather large artwork to fill a wall in my son's room. I took Max shopping at Walmart to pick out 2 posters (I think they were ~$5 each). I then went to Hobby Lobby and bought 2 canvases 50% off. I followed the steps in the above article and got some pretty cool artwork! What I like about the posters on the canvases, is that they actually looked painted on! Cool, huh?
Views of the room...
(sorry for the dis-coloration of my photos...I still can't get all the "camera" stuff worked out...and don't even get me started on Photoshop!!)
Be sure to head on over to ASPL for the DIY party & giveaway!

I bet he is over the moon for that room!! :) Visiting from Kimba's party. :)
Wow, what a great and easy idea! You could do tons with it! I love it - it looks fabulous.
Great idea and so easy!
I think Star Wars is the next theme on my son's room horizon.
Great job!
Clever!
Fantastic idea! And I love the wall-mounted lightsabers. Too cute!
Great idea to use posters to decoupage. Thanks for sharing!
Btw, I love star wars!
Great idea, the possibilities are endless!
His room looks great! I bet he loves it!
Feel free to check out my blog, it's brand new and still in the making...But, the link is http://oopsicraftmypants.blogspot.com
My son also has a big empty space that I've been trying to fill. This is a great idea, and looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
My son would LOVE this - especially the light sabers on the wall!
So BOY! Very nice. I agree, they look so professional. I love a good cheat!!
Very nice, they look much more expensive and professional on the canvases.
I love these! I've never really cared for posters pinned to the wall, not even in a kid's room, but these look cool--art instead of posters!
And as the mother of three boys, all of whom have always been huge Star Wars fans, may I say that I adore the light sabers hanging on the wall. That is a brilliant touch.
Very nice,but I won't be letting my husband see this room. He would want to turn our romantic retreat into a star wars room...he loves star wars anything!
Those look great!
I have some prints that I love, but am too cheap to get framed. This is a great idea.
It doesn't get better then a Star Wars room! I wish my mom did this when I was a little kid!
