This easy tutorial will help you to create a piece of art that looks like an expensive, framed art without breaking the bank. I love to create my art pieces for my home. I could go online and order too, but the pieces I create are unique for my family and me. Last year when we remodeled our living room, I added a  big statement art piece above my fireplace.  I went ahead and created one. It turned out fresh, and it worked perfectly in my space because I coordinated the colors with the rest of the room decor.

This spring I felt that I need a bit of change and if you are following me for a while, you know how much I love to shop my home and recreate and redecorate spaces without spending a dime. Ok this time, I spent on my canvas but it was a pretty good investment, I say. 🙂 So I painted another large piece for above the fireplace with very vibrant and happy colors.

I have lots of wooden elements and accents in my home, so I chose to add a beautiful stained frame to my canvas. It was so super easy that I thought I would share a quick tutorial with you all, in case you have some canvases laying around.

Are you ready to learn how to frame a canvas an easy way?

Materials needed:

And maybe 1/2 hr to an hour 🙂

  1. First I stained my pine boards.
  2. I used two 0.75″x 1.5″x 8″ long boards as my canvas was 30′ x 40″. Determine how many boards you need based on your canvas size. I have many leftover wood stains in the garage from previous projects, so I just used what I had on hand. I like the dark walnut wood stain the most, but for this project, I used the RED chestnut wood stain that I used on many projects in my newly remodeled bathroom.
  3. After staining my boards, I let the stain completely dry.
  4. I measured the width and the height of my canvas, and I cut my boards to the right size using a miter saw. When you are framing a picture or painting, you are joining two boards to create the perfect angle. For that, you need to cut 45-degree angle, and that requires a miter saw. The key is to build the perfect 45-degree cut and join the boards together.
  5. After I had my angles cut, using a brad nailer I attached my boards to the cancvas.

My frame is wider than my canvas purposely. If you are looking to add the same thickness, just choose a thinner pine board, or you can cut your board to size.
