Just as a general sort of tip regarding assembling the stretcher frame: take the four frame pieces and using a candle (that is big enough to handle, ie bigger than a birthday cake candle), RUB the candle on the front and back of the stretcher piece TABS (the skinny parts that are meant to go into mating slots in the adjacent pieces). Since these joints will be stapled and NOT glued, it is fine to rub a little wax onto them. They will then assemble MUCH easier.
Finally someone who makes this so very simple for a beginner in this and shows the how to quickly. THANK YOU
This is the one thing that is not explained in the instructions.
Thanks so much !
EXACTLY!!!!!! This video was huge help indeed.
Just finished mine and couldn’t figure out the frame, thank you for the video was a huge help!

Or a glue gun…good idea. Shouldn’t it be much tighter?
@@estjunkThe manufactured frame joints are typically very snug, so a parafin wax is going to work best.
Good question!
I use soap shavings for this.
Thanks so much for the kind help❤😊
The corners!!!!! Merci beaucoup!!
Grazie. Vorrei sapere a cosa servono quei cosi bianchi in plastica coi tre chiodini. Grazie
I have a painting 40x50cm I want to add to a stretch canvas first, what size canvas do I require would it be the same size as the painting?
Thanks! 👍✌️
Useful video! Helped me a lot
Where can I buy your disassembled frames? I didn't see them on your website, just paint-by-number canvases.
same here -- no instructions or info given with the paint by numbers
I got mine at Joann's. Seemed to be the most budget friendly frames and solid craftsmanship
i bought a paint by number, do i paint before i frame?!
You can do whichever you prefer!
I would frame first. Once the paint dries and you go to frame it - the paint could crack. I wouldnt chance it
Thank you
How do you print the picture on the canvas?
Instead of printing you can buy it online...just search “paint by number” and it will appear ☺️☺️☺️
