This was so helpful; I've always struggled with framing, but my panel sits neatly against the wall now! Thank you so much for making this video.

Oh! My goodness! You're a woman after my own heart!!! Loved that bit about "not doing numbers!" Thanks for the double loop tip. That's something I'm going to start doing. Thanks for sharing!

That double loop is really important when the work is heavy! you are so welcome Chris. Thanks for watching.... and yes, just say NO to numbers. LOL

Agree totally on the numbers thing, they make my head implode, lol. And yes, good tips on the double wrap around and I will also add tape because I’m inclined to “art accidents”.

Good advice about the tape. Yes I've been poked more than one time from those darn wires. I haven't tried those hooks on the inside of my frame before though, I like that idea better than on the back, especially for this style of canvas. Thanks Elizabeth.

Bravo! I was trying to do something similar with a staple gun and it was SO not working properly. This looks WAY better, and the artist's info on a sticker was a great bonus idea.

Awesome! Now get you a band aid! Because I’d measure this, I didn’t know that made a numbers girl! I love the art work on that piece too!

I love, love, love your channel and your art. As a longtime framing professional, I would like to offer an alternative way to prep an unframed canvas for hanging, especially in humid climates. A paper dust cover can be applied to the back of the canvas and then D-rings or sawtooth hanger affixed on the rear, in addition to felt or rubber bumpers that will lift the art just slightly away from the wall, perhaps 1/8 inch or less. (Wire is not necessary for many sizes of unframed canvasses.) Hang directly on the D-rings or sawtooth, which spaces the top slightly away from the wall, and the additional bumpers will maintain that space at the bottom. This method will allow dust to fall through and away from the back side of the art, and just enough air can circulate behind the dust-covered canvas to help prevent warping. For dry climates and/or a super-flush hanging method, one could attach D-rings to the inside of the stretcher bars and then attach the dust cover, making small openings in the dust cover for attaching a wire to the D-rings. Additional paper can be attached after wiring to cover the gaps if needed. This method would finish off the back side and accommodate a sticker for identification purposes. The extra few minutes of prep can go a long way toward overall presentation. ❤️

Thank you, I prefer not to see the hardware at all. The cradled wood panels do not warp. I lived in 100% humidity Orlando, FL for 20 years and never had a problem with this method. Thanks for the tips though, Im sure viewers will appreciate it!

Elizabeth St. Hilaire With kind regards, I’ve been tasked with repairing warped cradled panels - it can definitely happen and the repair can be difficult. Sealing all wood surfaces and employing a dust cover is good practice for professional artists and framers.

Really nice tutorial. Elizabeth. I’m wondering what to do when you have a larger wood piece that has a beam in the middle of the back? If you use a wire, it may be on top of that beam. Have you run into this before and if so what did you do? Thank you! ❤
@ElizabethStHilaire

I just add the wire with enough slack to cross the beam of support in the back. :-)
