    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.

  • Person assembling a wooden frame with white paper on a white background

    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.

DIY Aluminum Frame

Our DIY aluminum frame is made from lightweight yet durable alloy with a sturdy build and a corrosion-resistant finish—offering strength, longevity, and a sleek modern look for your canvas art.

  • Gold metal strips and silver brackets on a white background

    Preparing the frame and accessories

    Check that your inner frame is 1–2.3 cm thick and matches the outer frame size. Lay out all parts from the accessory bag.

  • Person wearing gloves using a tool to work on a gold object on a light gray background

    Preparing the corner brackets

    Each corner uses two bracket pieces. Place the one with the hole below and the one with screws on top.

    Installing the first corner brackets

    Slide both pieces into one aluminum bar—first the hole piece, then the screw piece. Tighten the screws. Repeat on the other end and a second bar.

  • Two gold metal brackets with screws on a light gray background

    Repeating on other sides

    Repeat this process for the opposite end of the same bar, then repeat on a second aluminum bar to complete two sides of the frame.

  • Gold metal frame on a white background

    Connecting the bars

    Attach the two bars without brackets to one of the bracketed bars to form a U-shape with three connected sides.

    Inserting the inner frame

    Carefully place the inner frame or artwork inside the assembled outer frame section, making sure it fits snugly and sits evenly.

Magnetic Hanger Frame

Our magnetic hanger frame is crafted from natural wood with a clean, organic look. Built-in magnets provide a secure hold without damage, while its eco-friendly finish ensures lasting quality.

  • Set of four black metal strips on a white background

    Preparing the frame strips

    Start by separating the four wooden strips—two for the top and two for the bottom. Each pair includes a front and back piece with built-in magnets. Make sure the top back strip has the hanging cord, which will be used to hang the frame. Lay all the pieces and your canvas on a clean, flat surface before you begin.

  • Colorful powder on a white background with a black border

    Framing the top edge

    Place the top back strip with the hanging cord underneath the top edge of your canvas. Adjust the canvas to make sure it’s centered and straight. This will help ensure that the final display hangs evenly and looks clean.

  • Hand using a tool to remove a red stain from a white surface

    Putting the top strip

    Align the front top strip over the canvas and let the magnets snap into place. Next, repeat the same process for the bottom edge: place the bottom back strip under the canvas, then snap the front bottom strip on top to secure it. The magnets will hold the canvas firmly, without damaging the material.

    Hanging the frame

    Use the cord attached to the top back strip to hang your canvas on a wall hook or nail. Step back and check the alignment—your artwork should now be beautifully framed and ready to enjoy. For best results, hang it in a well-lit space to highlight the piece.
