hello today we're going to put the canvas stretch the canvas onto this frame and we're going to do
it together so we have this frame built and there's a video that you can find in on his
channel of building the frame and right now, hi chloe we're going to cut the canvas to fit
and you want to make sure that it can wrap all the way around where you have to staple um so
we're just going to use some scissors here which one the tools we have we have a stapler here and
we have these staples and we have the stretcher i might put a link in the description for this
all right so i put a little slit in here and
they can't see that hold on here we go rip the canvas down
yes
this just helps it stays straight and even
why not just cut it, it just makes it all jagged and this kind of keeps the tear all on the same
sink now there's two different colors this is pre-painted canvas it already has two
layers of paint if you buy canvas that does not have paint then you have to get gesso and
paint it yourself before you start your art so um that is a good size here it's it's a little big
but because of the shape it doesn't so we actually made this ourselves like or we actually made this
well I actually we did a video and i might have that in the description of how to build the frame
and this is a extremely well-built frame okay so basically you're going to start in
the center of the opposite sides with one staple and that's going to be your base so
um you try to make it square as possible if you can so it i feel like it looks pretty square but
um so we're just going to go ahead and put a staple here
and what we i mean it doesn't have to be perfect
but uh hopefully that's the center we have a hammer if we need to tap it a little bit more okay
and i might trim this down because in order to pull it it's kind of a lot of uh
a lot of canvas to pull but this is a um
canvas pliers that you pull okay what i'm going to do is trim this down a little bit just real quick
just working with that extras all right it's fine you could do it but it's probably just
easier to have a smaller overhang of uh do you want me to staple it when you do that or do you
want to do it um yeah if you want to that would be good is it okay are you happy with how tight
that is there's a little ripple right there yeah there's going to be okay tell me when go ahead
okay so now we're going to do the opposite sides
all right if you want to do this side
i think this kind of just helps you have more of a flat grip when you're pulling is it good yeah
oh i didn't
all right okay so now we're just gonna go back to where we started and we're gonna add um
add some staples here
for me to add it
all right
um
oh
okay
is
so right now on the art camera stream uh what's she doing with the camera she's just kind of
like taking that down a little bit so it'll be easier to fold
so she just makes a little cut and then rips it
so now we need to have the edges folded how do we do this so basically you want to fold
in to the fold you don't want to have it like this because then there's all this flappy and
it can catch and tear so if you fold into and underneath you you want to make sure you leave
a little room here don't do the staples all the way to the edge because then you won't be able to
really work with the fold so you basically fold in and you try to line it up with the
edge of the canvas here right here so you have like a straight line coming down the canvas
um and actually looks like i put one staple too many
this so i'm gonna actually have to take one out
do it right
all right
okay so you're done with that side yeah all right so now we gotta repeat it with the
do all the other four corners
okay so we're done with the staples and doing the folding
and so our canvas is pretty much done it's
covered and that's about it
