 | At the end you just stapled, grasp the left corner of the canvas at an angle and pull down and away. Staple the corner. Repeat the process on the right corner. Turn the canvas over and do the same at the other end. This step should ensure a smooth canvas face with no stretch marks. Turn the canvas 90 degrees to the point of beginning. |
 | Grasp the canvas about two inches at either side of center, pull down and staple. Work outward at two inch intervals to the end of the stretcher bar. Returning to the center, work outward in the other direction until the whole edge has been stapled. Turn the canvas over until the stapled edge is down and repeat the process on the opposite edge. Finish the ends in the same way. |
 | Fold each of the corners tightly and staple them to the stretcher bars. Neatness of the fold is the key to making your canvas look professional. |
 | If longevity of the painting is a consideration, fold the remaining canvas over the back of the stretcher bars and staple in place. Otherwise, using a sharp knife, trim the edge of the canvas flush with the stretcher bars. |
