We have loads of wall space at home which I've been meaning to fill for a while now and finally I had a spare 10 mins and decided to use my fab wall paper sample to create this frame. Thought I'd share it with you.
Step 1 - You'll need:
Large canvas. Glue. Scissors. Paint brush.
Free wall paper sample which can be found in any large DIY store.
Our family loves Marvel Hero's so I nabbed a large sheet of this wicked wall paper, when I was plant shopping in the DIY store.

Step 2 - Roll out your chosen design on a flat area and place your canvas roughly where you'd like the picture. Bend the paper over the canvas and score a line, so you know where to stick the frame.
Step 3 - spread glue all over your canvas, a thin layer is good, don't forget the sides.
Step 4 - Stick the canvas down on your scored lines, should be a perfect fit. Make sure to check the design is on straight just in case.
Step 5 - Cut round your canvas, leave a couple of inches so you can stick the edges down neatly.
Step 6 - smooth down your picture gently, get rid of any bumps and check position.
Step 7 - Glue down edges. I always tape them down as well for a bit of extra protection.
I wrap the edges like Christmas presents.
Nice and neat, sort of, no ones going to see the back any way.
Finished
A quick and inexpensive project to brighten up any room. When you get bored of the design its easy to rip off and start again.
The frame was £2.00 from a discount shop, everything else was either free or we already had.
Have fun xx
