  • 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.

    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.

    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! 👍👍

    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!!

    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.

      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.

      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.
