Instructions

  1. Preparing the Fabric

    • 1

      Wash the fabric, if needed. Iron on high from the back side to remove creases.

    • 2

      Measure and mark 2 inches outside the design and trim the extra fabric.

    • 3

      Lay the artwork flat and face down on the work surface and smooth the edges. Make sure the fabric is positioned correctly for accurate framing.

    Mounting The Fabric Art

    • 4

      Purchase a wooden canvas frame according to your finished artwork size. Position it on top of your prepared artwork. Make sure the edges are aligned straight to avoid a lopsided finish.

    • 5

      Stretch the fabric around the frame edges carefully and use tape to secure the fabric at the back. Check the front and make adjustments if needed.

    • 6

      Use the staple gun to staple the fabric to the canvas on all sides. Fold the corner edges neatly and staple them for a smooth finish.
