One of my favorite songs for Christmas is The Twelve Days of Christmas. I thought it would be fun to make a poster that I could hang on my wall with all of the lyrics from the song. This project is so easy and only takes about 10 minutes to complete (not including drying times). I made this printable with a chalkboard background that you can download for free!

Materials:
11″ x 14″ Canvas from your local craft store or 11″ x 14″ piece of wood.
Black Paint
Sponge Paint Brush
Glue
Texture Cream or Mod Podge
FREE Printable
Instructions:
1. Download the free printable and print at your local Walmart or other store that offers printing services. The print is formatted for 11″ x 14″ so make sure you pick that print size. The total cost is usually around $5 to $6.
2. Make sure that the print fits the canvas or wood. I found the canvas is not a true 11″ x 14″ so I had to trim about 1/8″ around on all sides of the print. Paint the sides of the canvas or wood black coming up a little on the front. Let dry.
3. Glue the print to the canvas/wood and let dry.
4. Brush Mod Podge or Texture Cream on the front of the print. The Texture Cream will give the print a bit of texture and you can find different finishes of Mod Podge if you prefer. Let Dry.
5. Hang! It is that easy!
