So, let’s say you want a more delicate or lighter frame for your canvas art… Something that is a little narrower than a square dowel or strip of wood… This decorative trim fits this bill perfectly, and it can be cut with miter joints (if you’re feeling brave) or straight butt joints for an easier option.

The Final Framing Method – Decorative Trim Touch up the stain on the cut edges as needed. Cut a piece and secure it, repeating for the last piece. Then, measure one of the remaining sides including the two framing pieces that were just attached to the canvas. Next, cut a piece for the opposite side and secure it to the canvas. This example has three narrow canvases that will share one frame. This canvas frame DIY is a lot easier than mitered joints… Start by measuring one of the edges, cut a piece to that length, then secure it as outlined above to the canvas. Making a Frame with Straight or Butt Joints Repeat this process for the remaining sides of the canvas: measure, cut, secure. This will give a nice, raised edge to the frame! Secure the piece in place using a pneumatic brad nailer with 1-1/2″ brad nails or my favorite secret weapon – a glue gun (<– affiliate link – this one is my favorite!). Now, secure the piece of the frame to the canvas making sure the piece is centered on the canvas miter to miter, and the back face of the frame piece is flush with the back of the canvas. Next, cut an opposite miter at this mark (this mark is the inside of the frame).
Make a miter cut in one end of the wood piece for the frame then measure from the inside of the miter and make a mark at the opposite end that matches the measurement of the canvas. Start by measuring one side of the canvas. Apply a coat of stain, then apply the sealer. Start by lightly sanding the dowels or wood strips with 120 grit sandpaper, then follow with 220 grit. I like to cut each piece for the wood frame then attach it to the canvas before cutting the next piece, and I do this for two reasons: one reason is that the canvas may not be entirely symmetrical, and the other reason is so that I can make sure my joints are tight without gaps.

Pro tip: miter cuts sound a lot more intense than they really are! A miter box makes cutting miters so incredibly easy but if miter cuts are too intimidating, straight cuts can also be made with the miter box. When I make a frame for canvas art, I like to use mitered corners (corners cut at a 45° angle).
