This easy canvas frame involves two 1 x 2s. You will create a frame that attaches to a cradle. The cradle holds the back of the canvas in place and lines up the edges of the canvas with the front of the frame.
Align the cradle with the frame. Mark center of the top, bottom and side cradles and the center of the top, bottom and side frames. On the back of the cradle pieces drill pilot holes and drill countersink holes. This is where you will attach the canvas to the cradle.
Have a question about this project?
Does the painting end up flush with the front of the frame?
I love your frame and just ignore the old biddies with the pink framed glasses - they've probably never done a DIY project in their life and have probably never had to worry about a budget or making choices between buying food for the month and getting some decorating done for their home is what I've found over the years.
When measuring the wood for the frame, if the picture is 30x40 is the wood 30 x 40 or larger?
I wasn't sure how to go about it. It makes sense Thank you so much.
