Let's Make Some Gallery Stretcher Bars | How To

I bought my wife the Empty Child print on canvas from David Pollot’s Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/listing/22002611...) and decided I could save 70$ if I mounted it myself on some DIY Gallery Stretcher Bars. The build process is similar to making a frame or box, the hard part was actually stretching the canvas on over the bars. I believe this was mostly because the canvas had already been conditions and printed on. If it was raw canvas, it would have been a little more forgiving, but the results were great anyway.

What you need:

A Canvas Print
Some wood (I used poplar, but pine would probably work too)
A way to cut the wood :)
Wood Glue: http://amzn.to/1K8O1uD
Staple Gun
Ratchet Straps (http://amzn.to/1K8NXuJ) or Band Clamps (http://amzn.to/1ScDq46)
