Stapling the Canvas (con't)

 

Position the canvas on the frame.

 Staple the bottom edge (on the back of the frame for Gallery Wrap)
Pound in the staples with a hammer.
Slide the loose end of the canvas between the bars on the vices, resting the frame on top of the bar. Holding the frame at a 30 degree angle and pulling the canvas tight below the bars, tighten the vices to hold the canvas.

 
Gently press the frame down to make it horizontal which tightens canvas.
Pushing the frame to the front as much as possible helps.

 
Tap in 3 temporary staples in the top of the frame.

Remove the frame from the vices.
