Blogger Brynn Elliott Watkins took an original photograph of the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and turned it into wall-ready art by custom framing it in our White Canvas Float frame. The Canvas Float frame in Natural blends beautifully into a room with more rustic elements, and is great for those who prefer to see some wood grain.
And we had to include a closeup, so that you could see the wood grain! Classic with a twist: This digital print from Juniper Print Shop looks just like an original oil painting when custom framed in our Canvas Float frame in Black.

On the other hand, if your canvas is a unique size or shape, custom framing may be your best option. This also allows you to choose a linen liner to serve as a mat between the frame and the canvas for additional texture and visual interest. With the right custom frame, you can perfectly accentuate your art while protecting it for years to come.
Do I have to? Why might I want to? A painting or print on canvas, unlike works on paper, has a structure and shape all its own. The work was created on extra deep stretcher bars with an image transfer on acrylic screwed into the top of the piece as an extra layer. If I framed it, the art would be compromised. Space the clips evenly around the canvas. Attach the canvas clips that require screws, if these are the kind you bought. Position the clips where you want them on the frame.
Then, use a pencil to draw a mark in the holes of the canvas clip, and draw marks for all four canvas clips. Ensure the marks are dark enough for you to see, then drill a small pilot hole at each mark, taking caution to not drill through the frame or stretcher bar. Turn the painting over carefully. Now, you can check the finished product.
The frame should fit snugly around the canvas. If the canvas slides out, you probably need to push the canvas clips down more tightly. Part 3. Lay the canvas face down. The decoration should be right side up. If you are not sure the canvas is right side up, lift the canvas to check. With a pencil, draw a small mark on the stretcher bar that is the top side of the decoration. This will allow you to remember which side is the top. The wire will be in the right location if you keep the canvas right side up.
Mark where the hanger screws will go. Look at the measurements of the canvas to determine how far down the mark should be. For example, a painting that is 16 inches Make sure both sides have a mark at the exact same spot.
Attach the hanger screws. Screw each eye screw into the stretcher bar at the two points marked. Do not damage the decorated area of the canvas while attaching the screws. Cut the hanger wire. Add 6 to 8 inches Measure out the wire length you need with a tape measure. Use long-nose pliers to cut the desired length of hanger wire. Attach the first end of the hanger wire.
First, lay the wire down horizontally on the back of the canvas. Beginning with either side, make a knot by first pulling one end of the wire underneath and through the eyehook. Now, pull the wire half an inch through the eyehook. This should still be using only half an inch of the wire.
Then, pull the wire tightly. Repeat on the other side. The wire should be slack enough to move 1 inch 2. Part 4. Cut a sheet of kraft paper that is the size of the framed canvas. A dust cover is essentially a piece of paper, usually strong kraft paper, taped to the back of the canvas. This is a cheap and easy way to protect your canvas. If the kraft paper curls after you cut it, flatten it under a heavy, flat object such as a book or glass pane.
Apply double sided tape to the stretchers. Attach the kraft paper. Place the kraft paper firmly on top of the stretchers, ensuring that each edge of the kraft paper lines up with the edge of each stretcher bar. Press the edges firmly down. If there's excess paper, you can trim it with a knife or scissors. Now, you're ready to hang the canvas! Part 5. Choose where to hang the framed canvas. If you want the picture to get more attention, hang it in a busy area like a doorway or the middle of a room.
