How to Picture Frame a Canvas Print for Your Home

This is how to attach a canvas print into a frame.


First, you will need some offset clips and a screw which will hold the canvas into the frame. It is recommended to put one in for every 6 inches which will make it very secure. Once done, you will need to finish the back and add a wire then you'll be done. Make sure you have some double stick tape.  You will need a dust cover which you will place over the back of the frame.

Once completed you'll need to trim the excess off then cut a nice breathing hole for your canvas. You just want your canvas to breath if there was any change in temperature or humidity within your room. If you don't it can make the canvas a bit wavy and sag a bit.

The last thing you need to attach the wire to the back of the frame. Measure down a third of the way from the top of the picture. Then you'll want to attach the hooks with a screw. Then take a piece of wire  and run it from once side to another then secure with a cable system wire or a twist wire. Next, cut the excess wire off and you're good to go.
