Wood Frame Assembly Guide

    Sizing the frame correctly

    When selecting a frame, choose a size that is 5 cm (≈ 2 inches) smaller than your canvas in both width and height. For example, if your canvas size is 40 × 50 cm (16" × 20"), the correct frame size will be 35 × 45 cm (14" × 18").

    Drawing the guidelines

    Start by laying your canvas face down on a clean surface. Using a pencil or marker, draw a guideline along each edge to mark where the frame bars will go. Each bar is 3 cm thick, so the lines you draw should match that exact width.

    Positioning the wooden bars

    Once the guidelines are marked, place the four wooden bars along the edges of the canvas, aligning them carefully within the lines to form the full frame.

    Adhering the frame to the canvas

    Peel off the adhesive backing and press each bar firmly onto the canvas, keeping them aligned within the drawn lines. A 0.5 mm gap will remain between each corner for a clean fit.

    Reinforcing the frame corners

    Insert a U-shaped pin into each corner where the bars meet, then lightly tap the wood holders into place using a hammer to add stability.
