How To Make DIY Picture Frames For Your Canvas Art // Easy Woodworking Project!

Hey everybody it's Taylor with Boydston Grove 
and today we're going to show you how to make   some wooden frames for your 
canvas art. Let's get into it! For the first frame, I used some 1×2 
material that I had in the shop. I   used the table saw to make an 
L-shaped track in each piece. And then I used the miter 
saw to miter the corners. After gluing the pieces together, 
my impatience got the best of me,   so I nailed the frame together 
so I can keep the project moving. I decided to make a few more 
frames and for these I used   some two by four scraps that 
I picked up from a job site. After cutting them to the size I wanted, I made 
the same tracks in them with the table saw. Now,   maybe you don't have a table saw and a 
miter saw to break down all this lumber   to make your own frames. But that's okay! 
Most local hardware stores carry a trim   that is meant to go over corners it's already cut 
in an L shape.

So all you'll need is a handsaw   to cut the mitered corners, some clamps, and 
glue and you're set! No power tools needed!   To clamp the smaller frames, I 
used a ratchet or strap clamp.   These come in really handy when making frames. 
I'll leave a link in the description below.   Once the frames were assembled, we gave them 
a light sand and put some finish on them.   Then it was time to get some 
paint on a couple canvases!   Krisztina started by tracing the designs she 
wanted, using some graphite paper that we picked   up at the local craft store. Graphite paper 
comes in really handy when you're trying to   do something precise like lettering. I'll make 
sure to leave a link in the description below.   To paint the designs and lettering on the 
canvases, Krisztina used some paint pens.   It's really important when you're picking out your 
paint pens that you make sure to get a nice high   quality. Make sure you look over the reviews and 
see if anybody says anything about them bleeding   because that's also really important. 
You don't want your markers bleeding.   I'll make sure to leave a link for the ones that 
we used for this project in the description below.

All right, our canvas frames are finished. 
I made quite a number of them so you can   get a good idea of exactly what 
you can do with this project.   As you can see, there's different size reveals on 
these frames. You can change that by just changing   the size L track that you cut in your wood. This 
one is super thin whereas this one is super thick.   This frame is the one that I made out of those 
old two by fours and I also made the frame itself   really thick so that it can sit on top of a shelf 
or on top of a bookcase or something like that.   One of my favorite parts about these type 
of frames is that they're reversible.

I   left this one detached so I could show you. 
If you'd rather have a thicker style frame,   you can put your canvas in that way and have 
that nice thick frame. This project was super   simple and easy and a great way to display your 
canvas art. If you enjoyed this video, make sure   to like it. We have tons of other projects on
