How to make your own canvas stretchers cheaply

To make your own canvas stretchers the cheapest way possible without any special equipment or visit to  the framer. you will need the following :-

Four stretchers (the wood that makes up the frame).for 30" x 40" canvas we recommend 30-40 cm x 10-20cm wood. It depends how deep you want it, the wider the less of the painting will show on the front!

Staple gun and rust proof staples

A 45 angle mitre jig-- and a saw that fits the jig.

Tape measure

Pencil

Small hammer

Sandpaper

Small amount of strong wood glue.                             

that's it!!

Fist cut your wood to size required making sure to cut your first mitre on one side of the wood first- this will help to use as a guide to measure accurately the cut off size i.e. 30" in the mitre. Cut all for sides.

You should now have 2 pieces of 30" and 2 pieces of 40" of wood with all ends mitred.

Next you need to clue them together-- add a little glue and while holding the mitres together to form a corner with your other hand use the staple gun to stable the wood tightly --punch in two or three depending on the thickness of wood you have chosen. When all 4 sides have been stabled together , turn the frame over and stable those corners too. allow to dry.

You can now sand down any sharp and rough edges with sandpaper.

Now you need to place your canvas face down on the clean carpeted floor, or bed- nice comfortable height!

You the place your frame in the centre of you canvas. On the longest side I.e. 40” of the frame wrap the canvas over and staple it to the back of the frame in the centre. Then pull the canvas tightly on the opposite side of the frame and wrap it tightly over an stable it down with you other hand, repeat this for the other sides working around clock ways until you are left with the corners.

To finish off the corner just pull the canvas corner over and then the flaps from the asides to cover it and stable in place. if it sags a bit after time-- just lightly dampen with a little bottled still water on the back with a brush and leave facing flat down over night to dry- this will tighten the canvas without using wedges.
