Anyone fitted a canvas to a frame or used a kit or alternative method for hanging? I've bought a couple of canvas prints for the lads room but I'm left pondering on how to best get them up on the wall.
It's pretty easy if the image has enough bleed - your local picture framers would be able to do the best job.
Mate of mine does this semi-professionally, if you're anywhere near East Lancs.
(Actually, a mate of mine does this semi-professionally even if you’re not anywhere near East Lancs, it's just less useful to you then.)
Nowhere near East Lancs unfortunately. There are a couple of picture framers locally though.
It's pretty easy tbh, just do it yourself, frame and staple gun are all you need. practice on with some blank canvas or something.
Do you have a mitre saw? cutting accurate 45 degree angles is the hardest bit. After that, you just need a band clamp like this: Band clamp, some PVA glue, and a staple gun.
If you are feeling posh, this stuff makes a nice frame to go round it (again, band clamp, glue, and paint/finish as desired)
