There are no words! Stunning Canvas!

9/12/2018

These are my honest opinions and were not swayed in any way by the free sample or  giveaway.
There simply are no words to describe how beautifully my canvas turned out!
Picture
Sarah at Canvas Factory was kind enough to give me a sample of one of their products for a reviewed one to giveaway to my followers!
​ 

I must say the work and detailed craftsmanship is absolutely perfect.  Trust me,  I looked to see if I could find a flaw or something wrong with the canvas all the way down to the pricing.
 
If you are looking to turn any of your artwork or photos into a canvas, stop looking! This is the place. This is solid.  When quality counts, this is it.  The back is finished with very nice detail down to the hinged hangers.

​I wanted to take  this review a step further. I had plans from the time she asked me to review the product until I received it. I placed the order on September 2, 2018 and received it September 12, 2018. I placed the order just like any other customer on the website so they did not know which product would be mine. Shipping times may vary with different product, quantities and locations.

I wanted to do something special with this canvas, with some Iron on foil vinyl. I was full of anticipation waiting until it came. Literally I was expecting an artist canvas like I get at the hobby store with no backing etc. I was afraid I would not be able to use the canvas or my project. 

I was in awe of what I actually received.  The  richness of the colors and  the craftsmanship are fantastic.   The canvas is solid on top and on the back!  This made it super easy to do my project without  finding ways to support it from behind the canvas!  I did hold my breath for fear it would ruin the gorgeous piece. 

I am happy to report that it held up awesomely!  I used Iron on foil and a Cricut EasyPress® at 260 degrees for 45 seconds without any damage to the canvas at all.
I do not recommend this if you have no experience with putting iron on onto canvas, practice first. If you are looking to add something like this to a crafting booth or  store, Canvas Factory passed the test with flying colors.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the ironing on of the foil. All other canvas questions should be directed to Canvas Factory.
