How to Gallery Wrap your Canvas

March 22nd, 2009 by Carrie

Here is an 8 minute video on Gallery Wrapping your canvas.

You will need an electric staple gun and can buy the Stretcher Strips anywhere but I have had good luck and great sales here at DickBlick, also you will need canvas pliers you can buy here too or go to your arts and crafts store and usually find the supplies…. http://www.dickblick.com/categories/stretcherstrips/ 

If you would rather not do it yourself, Craig Pearson, http://www.easyonlineprints.com/ , does an amazing job with Canvas printing, and gallery wrapping, services too. With exceptional prices.

    I think your corners would look much neater if you trimmed off the excess canvas before folding. The lads at our place would be shot it they did corners like that :)

    We use pneumatic machines for stretching. It seems so much harder by hand.
