Dollar Store Canvas Updo
Lots of people do reverse canvas but for me I want to get a bigger chunkier frame them for less than two dollars you can make a dollar store canvas looks super nice
You’ll need a canvas that you like, I picked this up at the dollar store
1x2 piece of wood
Stain
Nails
Tape Measure
Staple Remover
Stapler
Step one:
Flip over your canvas so the staples are facing up
Then begin removing all the staples with the staple remover
Step two:
Remove the frame and lay the canvas out to measure the open canvas
Step three:
Cut your 1x2 to the size you want making sure you leave some rooms to staple the canvas on the new frame
Step four:
Stain or paint your wood
Step five:
Nail them together making a box shape
Step six:
Lay the canvas over the wood frame / box and staple on
Step seven:
Cut off any remaining fabric that shows
This should be how it turns out!
I love the final product!! Makes my $1 canvas look 100% better!!!!
Looks great on my Laundry room shelf.

What a great idea! I have a canvas print in my laundry room and scrap lumber that this would really make it stand out and look much nicer. Thanks!
