How To Mount A Canvas On A Wall

Mounting a canvas on a wall is a great way to add a touch of personal style to your home. It's a relatively simple process, but there are a few things you'll need to do to make sure it's done right.

Materials needed:

Canvas print
Canvas stretcher bars
Canvas pliers
Hammer
Nails or screws
Level

Instructions:

1. Assemble the stretcher bars. The stretcher bars are the frame that will support the canvas. They come in two sets of two, and they're usually made of wood or aluminum. To assemble them, simply slide the two long bars into the two short bars, making sure that the corners are square.

2. Stretch the canvas over the stretcher bars. Start by placing the canvas print on a flat surface, face up. Then, take one of the stretcher bars and align it with the top edge of the canvas. Pull the canvas taut and staple it to the stretcher bar, about 1 inch from the edge. Repeat this process with the remaining stretcher bars, making sure that the canvas is evenly stretched.

3. Trim the excess canvas. Once the canvas is stretched, use a sharp knife or scissors to trim any excess canvas around the edges. Be careful not to cut into the canvas print.

4. Hang the canvas on the wall. You can hang the canvas on the wall using nails or screws. To do this, first, hold the canvas up to the wall and mark the location of the two top corners. Then, hammer nails or screws into the wall at these locations, making sure that they're level.

5. Hang the canvas on the nails or screws. To do this, simply hook the top two corners of the canvas over the nails or screws. Then, step back and admire your work!
