What always made me pause was the price. The framed prints are at least $500 each, and although incredible beautiful I didn't really want to spend that much money. Also, if I bought each of the framed prints, I would run out of wall space!
It was on that vacation that I had a lightbulb moment. I was in the gift shop on the Disney Magic and noticed they were selling puzzles of the prints, 500 pieces each in sets of four. What if, I thought....
I didn't buy them at the gift shop (because at that point, I literally had ZERO luggage space left) but searched for them on Amazon and eBay when I got back. I bought two of the sets, and in the last few weeks have been going to town putting them together.
My plan was to put them together, use Mod Podge to glue them together, and then go to a local store and get them framed. When I'm all done, I'll make a collage with the focal point being a larger framed print of the Tangled painting, which is my absolute favorite of all of them. I will buy that print either on an upcoming cruise, or see if I can find one online.
Here is a Before and After; as you can see, the glue dries clear so no worries there. The Mod Podge is perfect; I use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the glue for a puzzle this size and then brush it on with a clean paintbrush. Make sure you spread it evenly and really into the corners and edges.
(And yes, I know this is the not the same picture :) but the after effect is the same.)
Didn't they turn out great?? I can't wait to share the finished product with you when I'm all done with this little crafty project!
What kinds of crafts do you like to do?
