Your Canvas Built By You

Hey, I’m Kerry — the face behind DIY Canvas, and very proud (and very tired) mum of two: Josh and baby Jacob. DIY Canvas was born right here in our home in Harlow, Essex, not long after Jacob arrived.

Like most mums, I wanted to fill our walls with photos of our boys — those fleeting, squishy, sleepy moments you never want to forget. But when I started looking for canvas prints, I was shocked at how expensive they were. Why did it cost a small fortune just to celebrate your memories?

So… I did what any photo-obsessed, slightly stubborn mum would do — I decided to do it myself.

DIY Canvas was created to offer genuinely high-quality canvas prints at the lowest possible prices. And no, that’s not just fluffy marketing talk — we’ve obsessed over every detail, from rich colour print quality to professional-grade stretcher bars and sturdy framing. If it’s not good enough for our own walls, it’s not going on yours.

We’re a real family-run business. You’ll often find me packing orders while juggling baby cuddles, Josh keeping me company with his iPad, and my fiancé Mike jumping in to help with the tech side of things and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. It’s a team effort — fuelled by snacks, coffee, and love.

Whether you’re printing your newborn’s first smile, a big family laugh, or that once-in-a-lifetime holiday snap, we’re here to make sure you get something beautiful that doesn’t break the bank.

This is just the beginning. We’re canvas-only for now, but we’ve got big plans for the future. Watch this space…

Thanks for supporting small and shopping smart,

Kerry, Mike, Josh & JacobDIY Canvas – Made with love in Essex
