quantify your wooden frame to determine what size photograph you need. We used 8×10 wooden frames, for a 8×10 photograph. Next, Cut the 10oz canvas drop fabric just slenderly larger than the frame. We recommend cutting the canvass drop roughly 1-2 inches larger than the frame. last, stretch the canvas around the frame and staple into place. Be certain that the canvass is nice and tight !

Tips we learned along the way
- Unless you have a super steady painting hand, we recommend painting a border prior to mod podging your image to the canvas. This will reduce the risk of accidentally painting your image.
- Use an image printed with a laser printer on paper. A paper image will mold much easier to the canvas, rather than using a traditional gloss finish photograph.
