Canvas prints always look better in a floating frame. Many frames are commercially available but most will be cheaply made and won’t be a perfect fit for your artwork. Fortunately, making your own DIY floating frame is easy and inexpensive. All you need is a table saw, miter saw, and drill. For the wood, head to the “project boards” section of your local hardware store.
- Material for each frame (assuming a 16×16 print): (4) 1/2” x 2 1/2” x 2’ (Sold as 1/2” x 3” x 2’) (4) 1/4” x 1 1/2” x 2’ (Sold as 1/4” x 2” x 2’)
