Whether you're looking to use up some old frames, wanting a couple more canvases, or just needing a new project, anyone can do this.
What you'll need:
- Old frame - preferably one with a flat surface
- Loose canvas* or material
- Scissors
- Staple gun
- Extra Stables
*If you are going to be painting, be sure to use canvas. Otherwise any decorative material can be used.
Step 1. Lay canvas out flat and place the frame in the middle. You will be looking at the backside of your frame.
Step 2. Pull fabric over side of frame and staple in place.
Step 3. Repeat on opposite side of frame stretching the fabric has tight as you can. The tighter it is the better it will look when you are done. Continue going back and forth from side to side until two sides are done. Keep each staple equally taught.
Step 4. Repeat step 3 on other sides.
Your frame should now look like this:
Step 5.Decide which side of the frame you want your fold to show. Pull corner straight (like the corner of a bed sheet).
Step 6. Tuck extra fabric behind fold.
Step 7. Pull up on corner creating an even fold.
Step 8. Pull as tight as possible and staple in place.
Step 9. Repeat on all corners.
Step 10. Trim off extra fabric.
Finished!
