One Day Art Project Preserving a Magazine Advertisement of Coca Cola

in art •  8 years ago 

I came across a very old (year 2002) Georgia Tech (GT) Magazine. My husband and son both have degrees from GT.
A beautiful Coca Cola ad popped out. I wanted to preserve this page and make it into a wall hanging to surprise them.

Materials I used: Quick Drying Clear Protective Coating spray, Canvas Board to size the paper to be preserved, school glue, some paints that suite your décor and the picture. These can be found at any hobby store.

I cut the page out of this old magazine. Sprayed 'Quick Drying Clear Protective Coating' on the magazine ad as per directions on the can. Sprayed again after an hour or so when the first coating dried.
Then tack corners and some spots on the edges of the magazine ad on to the canvas board with school glue. When completely dried, paint around the magazine ad to give it added life to the picture.

   You can customize as per your choice.
