Where can I find pretty floral 24x36 posters?

Question

Hi all - I'm trying to find a good (reasonable) source for large - furniture size - posters with florals that are individualized enough to cut out and decoupage spanning 2 or 3 drawers of a dresser front or across a table top. I've looked in stores like Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's, Walmart etc but without success. Hobby Lobby had some really nice Eiffel Tower ones but I'm more looking for a magnolia (example) - Thanks in advance!

Also, I am checking into using Walmart to enlarge previous flowering pictures (to poster size) I took in NM before we moved to NC....thought it would be nice memories to look at each day...:)

If you're willing to shop on-line, I'd recommend Etsy.com all the way. Many vendors will be more than happy to customize their pieces to the size you want, as well.

Kari Mills · Answer

If you have a picture you like just take it to a copy place & have it enlarged.

You could go to the Graphics Fairy, she has TONS of stuff for free. Download something you like, then take it to an office supply store and have them blow it up. Doesn't cost much at all.

You can get blueprint or engineering copies of images done for just a few bucks. The resolution isn't as good but you can get really large sizes and for a decor project might be just the ticket. A couple examples (the second link is from Staples with lots of examples) http://www.bluecricketdesign.net/2011/09/huge-print-preview.html http://www.pinterest.com/explore/staples-engineer-prints/

Also, check out The Graphics Fairy website-- http://thegraphicsfairy.com/ --for free downloadable images that are free domain, so there's no issue with copyright infringement. There are actually a number of sites that have free images with lots of florals, Check out my pinterest board for more sites: http://www.pinterest.com/centrd/printables-labels-fonts/

How about craigslist in your area or local resale shops.

Do you have a color printer at home to use?

hmmm.. yeah, there is so much available on Etsy that it can be hard to refine your search to narrow down what you are looking for. I would recommend doing a search that is relatively broad. If you find a shop (or shops, fingers crossed) that caters to a 'look' you like, message the owner directly and ask them specifically for what you are interested in. The Etsy community, as a whole, is a great one, very helpful. Many owners are happy and eager to customize their work when it comes to sizing or might point you in the right direction by means of another seller they know of that is more up your alley. Good luck!

Thanks - heading there now!

Kari Mills · Answer

@Sara You may want to try having it turned into a vinyl???? No decoupage needed just rub it on. May cost more but easier & no mess. Etsy has lot of shops that do them. I would like to see the finished results.

Sara · Answer

@Kari Mills Wow - haven't heard of this process - thanks!

Maryellen · Answer

For the large florals, look for Georgia O'Keefe type posters at allposters. They are really beautiful!

Maryellen · Answer

Ooops! Didn't mean to be finished yet! You can also look for wrapping paper. It goes on well with Mod Podge, then a final coat of one of the plastic sprays or some water based poly.

Sara · Answer

@Maryellen Thank YOU! I will look for hers .. there are soooooo many pages there to go through ;o) I'm trying to do a table with General Finishes Stain - and having nervous nellie's about applying the stain - and then wondering if decoupage will be able to go on that ;o)

Maryellen · Answer

It should go on fine. Just be sure it's completely dry before hand. I did a dresser in my grandchildren's room and cut Peter Rabbit characters out of old books and decoupaged them onto the front that had been stained and the top that was painted with high gloss paint and didn't have trouble with either surface. It's been almost 10 years and it's still going strong. The only problem I have is that the two 9 year old boys don't like it anymore but I still have little ones who LOVE it ;)

Maryellen · Answer

Another thing - if you sand at all - and you might want to if there are any bubbles or bumps where you'll be applying your pictures - be sure to either damp wipe it really well or use a tack cloth because any dust will kind of blob up in the Mod Podge and you could end up with really noticeable flaws since the final finish is so glossy. Good luck!

Sara · Answer

@Maryellen - thanks! I have a rickety table that was given to me and I want to try all the things above on this one table - LOL .. today's project is to find a 'gizmo' to use for molding an applique type decoration .. ;o)
