In this video i show you how you can make a wood picture frame out of 2x4 lumber and stretch a canvas painting over it. I show you how to build the custom wood frame for the exact size your canvas painting needs and then how to stretch it the easy way. I painted this painting a while ago and needed to stretch it over a frame for a art show it was being displayed in, and figured i show you guys how i did it. Hope you learn something from this.

"You can make this with a handsaw and some glue" -- now that's the video I want to see! I don't have all this equipment like a table saw etc. Someday I hope to, but not high on the list now.

Ah. You just saved me a lot of typing. Thanks!!

Great video. Perfect if youre already done w your painting and just stretching it on but if, like many of us, your sometimes want the canvas stretched on before painting then the middle wood will be touching the canvas and can cause lines. If the middle wood can b cut 1/4” or more down then all would work better.

As a viewer I appreciate your time and effort, representing your video, thank you 🙏🏼

Another way to get squared corners is to add have 90 degree triangles at each joint. I don't have fancy machines, that's the best i could do with a hand saw. But thanks for sharing this i was able to stretch my painting.

@tiffaniecross2209 Месяц назад

I appreciate this. I bought a very pretty but large (48x58) oil painting on canvas years ago, but now I’m wanting to frame it and can’t afford the hundreds of dollars that may cost. This gives me a good idea of how to do this for myself. Thanks!!

@phunkissartisticcreations2316 5 лет назад

Great and inexpensive way to mount a loose canvas. Totally agree that it costs a small fortune to have it done at a framing store. Two thumbs up! 👍👍

@KomarProject 5 лет назад

PhunKiss Artistic Creations I know right. I took a painting in once and they wanted something like $200. Thank you but no thank you. My $12 frame will do just fine

@joeyree22 7 месяцев назад

5 years late, but ditto! I came here because I'm looking to buy a large canvas piece, but worry about the added cost of mounting it. Now, I'm feeling confident about buying it and go for it!

Was glad when this started off with no music. Was looking forward to watching and hearing natural sounds of work being done. Then music kicked in and I lost interest. Having just come from reading how many people hate background music. This was especially jarring.

@kdent865 2 года назад

Good video and easy to follow. The volume was also good. Thanks. Question.. I've only ever seen canvases stapled and stretched starting from the middle of the bar, and going out to the corners. You did it the other way around. Is there a reason for doing it this way? Kelly

@KomarProject 2 года назад

Nope. You can go any way as long as you get a good stretch

@kdent865 2 года назад

@@KomarProject thanks. Do you find it easier to do it this way on big canvases.. or is this just the way you do your framing on any size?

@CheshireCad 2 года назад

Yeah, starting it from the middle is usually best. If you start from the corners and work inward, then you risk messing up and having a little bit of excess, which will bunch up in the middle and look really bad.

You can just prime and work on unstretched canvas. Some people put it on the floor like a rug, some people put it on the wall. No difference

I would go even less then that. 14x30 so you have something to pull on. Hope that helps.

@cameranmanner4701 2 года назад

would mdf be a good choice, as it is more stable and less likely to warp.

@rodanvsandrew 2 года назад

No, they're likely far more stable than other frames, I mean, they build houses from them. I've used 2x4 (ripped down to the profiles I want on the table saw) to make a lot of canvases.

@cameranmanner4701 2 года назад

I'm finding the tension on your canvas not very tight. would a canvas puller help?

@ragodesign 2 года назад

Yes it would as starting to staple from the center and then moving out... if you start from the corners if you have excess canvas you're screwed, the other way you just pull more... That's why pro's do it the opposite way

@erikwhited5339 Год назад

Use a blank piece of canvas underneath your painting to hide any background colors or lighting issues. If you're referring to seeing the frame's shape, you'd have to pull off the painting and rehang it while properly applying tension to pull it tighter.

@stewsmith9236 Год назад

You didn't stretch the canvas! For that you need canvas stretching pliers, and the result will be so much better. The frame looked well built, but I would check the diagonal dimensions to ensure it is completely square
