Best videos on KZread for framing a framed canvas. No fancy tools. Really made with an artist in mind - not a woodworking genius with a full blown shop. Thanks!

This is brilliant! Recently started selling my paintings and can't believe how much the frames cost!

I just followed your instructions and framed two 17 x 17 x 1.5 canvases for a show. They turned out great!!!! Thank you so much Jon for making this video!

Just watched a 25 minute video on how to build a floater frame which basically requires a woodworking shop. This method is so stupidly simple and cheap! Fantastic video. Thank you!

You are THE BEST at woodworking and explaining. Who in the world would give this info a thumbs down must be depressed 🙃 I have followed these instructions and made gallery worthy frames. Then a few years pass and I shortcut a frame it’s all messed up so I’m coming back to this great video to refresh. You’re so great!!!!

you just saved me so much time and money I cannot thank you enough.

Great tutorial! That was exactly the type of frame I had in mind for displaying my paintings for sale. I believe a frame, no matter how simple, brings a painting up to a whole other level. I love your explanation of a floating frame, also. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for taking the time to so thoroughly demonstrate how to do this including the tools you used, etc. I’m excited about framing my own art now and it’s affordable!

Awesome! The craft store Micheals wanted to charge me over $100 for framing a canvas I made. You just gave me some confidence to try this myself. Wooohoo!!! Update: I just framed my canvas, super easy!!!

Thank you for your great tutorial, which I used to add frames to many of my abstract paintings. The frame added the perfect, finishing touch!

Great video! I did this years ago and was remembering how nice the frames looked, but could not remember the specifics. Its nice to watch an instructional video like this when the person speaks so clearly without all the "umms"... thank you! You made it look easy.

Thank you so much!!! I have been stressing over being able to afford to frame many of my pieces, and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!

Fantastic, I have been puzzling all day over what to do with my paintings, thats really helpful, thank you.

Thank you! This is a great tutorial. I'm in the process of framing my paintings and they look awesome. Thanks, Jon!

Thanks Jon, this was just what I needed.Very helpful. Have made about ten frames for my paintings so far and they look great...price is right too!

Exactly the tutorial I needed. Thank you so much! I wish you could list all the exact products you used so it’s easier for me to just go and look and buy them. I’ve never done any woodworking and so this will be my first.

Just made my first! I love it! Thank you so much. My pine strip split a couple times. When in mailed more towards the middle of the frame and center of strip I did not have any more problems

wow great idea. this is super simple and inexpensive frame but look elegant. thanks for sharing Jon.

Very nice find. I used this to make frames for some digital canvas prints I didn't want to spend too much more money on. Gives them a nice finished look, stained them black with supplies I already had.

Just made my first frame following your video. Looks fantastic. Thanks so much!!

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find frames to fit my works. Then I stumbled on your video and I could kick myself!!! Talk about a "Light bulb moment"!!! Thanks for sharing 😊

Great Demo! Helped me frame some vintage paintings with beat up frames. Thank you

Thank you for making this video. It has saved me a ton of money, as premade frames cost a small fortune. And to me, strip frames are the most beautiful of all frames. They work for all styles of art. Not to mention this frame is easy to make. Plus the feel of pride I have in making the frames myself. Thanks again!

I will second this comment. Jon, interestingly, I was watching your videos when I was doing more woodworking. Now, during the past year, I started painting. Now, I'm seeing your videos once again related to painting! Thanks so much for the framing videos!

This is a great tutorial, thanks for being straight to the point and very clear with your instructions! It helped me a lot!

Thanks so much for this. A strip frame is actually my favorite way to hang and display a painting, at least for modern and contemporary work. Cheers

I have been searching and searching for this! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video, very easy to follow and understand

THANK YOU so much for this!! Very clear instructions for something I have needed to learn in order to hang my work. I appreciate you putting this video on youtube. .

Finally something I can do that does not cost nearly what they ask for ready made frames...and personally I like this look much much more than the floter style. Thank you for this!

this is EXACTLY what I´ve been looking for. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

PERFECT! Just bought three small paintings and I'm gonna use what you just taught me!

Thank you Jon for this great video. I have so many pieces of my art to frame.

Been staring at this canvas box painting i bought years ago wondering just how to frame it! Now I know!! Thanks

Perfect presentation! Just what I needed to make some simple frame for my canvas paintings.

Thanks Jon for this video. I didn't know you could do this type of framing to sell. I figured you needed to be able to take the picture out of the frame. This is so easy! Now I have an inexpensive way to finish my paintings. Again- thank you! Mo

I think I could actually do this! Thank you for sharing a truly simple way of framing my artwork.

...Great idea, much simpler and less tools...Thanks Jon.

Your videos are simply excellent! This one is my favorite, it opened my eyes :) Thank you.

Jon, As usual you are SPOT ON. KISS: always describes your work. "KEEP IT SIMPLE, SMART"

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Custom framing at chain craft stores are EXCESSIVELY pricey. Your technique is extremely simple and affordable, most of all it comes out elegant and so versatile. I'm thinking of playing around with thicker wood or apply Rub n' Buff. Thank you.

Brilliant tutorial. Love the artwork from the 50s ❤ Thank you

Thank you, exactly what I wanted to know. A great, simple and well presented video.

Thank you! This is perfect for my paintings!

I enjoyed this demo. Can't wait to try it. Thank you.

Sir you are a very talented woodworker and teacher. Thank you for your videos.

Great videos and very helpful. I've always had a problem deciding whether to paint the edge of my canvases, now I don't need to. Gives a great finish, is inexpensive, and what's best is I can do it myself. It fulfills my main design rule - simple yet effective. (and that can be adhered to in so many ways... lol)

Great piece of simple teaching. Thanks!

So impressed with this. Thanks! Something else I could use is quarter round bought at Home Depot to make it look like a frame surrounding it with a beveled style.

Thanks so much! I now have my art framed, it looks so much better!

Wow! I am gong to try this! I have a couple of paintings I bought in Guatemala and want frame! Thank you for the simple and clear explanation.. I love that I don't have to use an electrical sewing machine.

This is such a great video! I've been looking to purchase frames that look very similar and they get so expensive. I'm definitely heading over to home Depot later and try this out. Thank you! you have my subscription.

Good video. Since you have a mitre box, I recommend doing 45 degree corners as it makes your final product look much more professionally done and the only thing that really changes is the type of cut you make on your wood and maybe a little bit of glue. Good luck!

Thank you for this video! Wonder if I can use a thicker wood for the frame with this method and it still looks good. I can do the frame with the corners of the straight cut wood myself but not the diagonally cut wood (I can't diagonally cut the wood and also have no machine ).

Thanks, helpful. I've been wanting to do this with some of my paintings. Nice work space.

This is fantastic! Thank you

Good, practical advice for non handymen painters like me. Now I just need a nice studio like yours.

really cool! thank you so much. Do you have some tips for framing, with somewhat archival quality, artworks on paper? I draw on rather thin paper with graphic markers, acrylics and inks. I saw many now use adhesive foamboard. What is your opinion about it? I am looking for the best and affordable way to frame artworks on paper and have the guarantee that my customers may enjoy good many years in company of my artwork. thank you, all the best Matt

Too easy and very nice. Thank you !

Thank u so much. Now my paintings will look like a million dollars without the expensive fancy frames. God bless!

Great video! And great directions for a beginner DIY framer. I would really love to see the same type of video from start to finish for the floating frame that was being repaired. It was a little difficult to envision that process.

great job explaining it. You really helped me see how to get the effect I want. Why did your wood attachment to the table change from the first shot to the second, where it has two pieces of wood in a cross configuration?

At last an EASY and inexpensive way to frame a canvas - so thankful I found your video!! I'm assuming if my canvas is only 3/4" I would buy a wood strip that is also 3/4"? I'm a newbie and bought several 3/4" canvases not realizing I would have to frame them to meet most art show criteria...

Louise, I was wondering the same, but if you watch the last part of the video, you will see that he still uses the 1.5 inch wide wood strip. He mentions that the canvas is inset a half inch or so when looking at the back so that the picture hangs flat on the wall.

This has been most helpful. Thanks.

THIS was exactly what I was looking for!! Any chance you can explain how to make the float frame better, meaning how big is the float strip of wood & also did you attach the new strip of wood to the float strip of wood or to the painting itself? That part was hard to see. Thank you so much!! ☺

What stock size should be used if the stretcher measures 1-1/2" thick [for studio wrap]?

Thank you very much thats the best video about framing i ve never see

I have an exhibition in a few days and no tools but a hammer. Of course, I have no money to spend on it either. I'd given up on the idea of framing because it seemed too difficult. But I'm going to give this a try tomorrow! I hope the store will cut it for me.

Thank you SO much!

Big Thank You. I've got a show coming up and always wanted to know how to make these frames. I love the look. Do you think I could cut (if done carefully) without a miter box? Again thanks my friend.

Excellent!
