Notes
If you can't find an old painting you could use a blank canvas from the craft or art supply store.
This sign can be hung like a wreath in entryways or on your front porch as long as it is covered.
You could also spray some polyurethane as a sealer for protection if you want but I did not. Just make sure that the picture has had a day or two to dry completely and don't spray too close.
