Easy DIY Canvas Frame

Canvases can be extremely expensive to have custom framed. But you can save your budget and build yourself a DIY canvas frame. It's EASY and INEXPENSIVE!

Supplies needed:

– Tape measure – 1 x 2 inch pine boards – Wood stain  – DAP Weldwood Instant Adhesive – DAP Plastic Wood-X – Sandpaper – Miter saw (or hand saw and miter box) – Nail gun (or small finishing nails and hammer) – Corner clamps

Cut your wood to length. The SHORTEST part of your miter needs to correspond to the length of your canvas. 

STEP 1

Once all of your wood is cut, add DAP Weldwood Instant Adhesive to each mitered edge and use your corner clamps to ensure each corner stays perfectly square and tight.

STEP 2

Fill any nail holes and any gaps in your mitered joints. Once it's dry, sand it smooth.
