    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.

    Securing the canvas to the frame

    Using the push pins included in the parcel, press them through the back side of the canvas into the wooden frame. Insert the pins across the entire back area to ensure the canvas is firmly attached and securely held in place.
