Question
Can I frame a canvas print myself or should I hire someone?
Answer
Framing a canvas yourself is straightforward with the right frame and a few basic tools. It comes down to how large and how valuable the piece is.
- Do it yourself for standard sizes. A floater frame with offset clips takes about 20 minutes per canvas and needs no special skills.
- Hire a pro for very large pieces (over 40 inches) or valuable originals, where you want archival materials and a flawless finish.
If you are framing several everyday canvases, DIY saves real money. Save professional framing for the one or two pieces where a perfect result is worth the cost.
