Do a video of making a frame for the 4x5' canvas makers, show off those router skills, i'd wager you have.

Haha I just moved and didn't get my router out of storage til a couple weeks ago. Maybe i'll make an update... 🤔

Cool - I never knew how that was done. And I was wondering how you'd get it taught enough - I didn't know about gesso. Thanks.

I hope you're still making videos!!! Such cool stuff! Can you do more dying videos? Like about different dyes and fabrics and the like?

@JustineSilva 2 ай бұрын

I've been super busy with "real life work," but as soon as things slow down I'll start making more videos. I can make some more dyeing videos for sure :)

So you don’t need to pre wash the canvas? Love this video ❤👏

@JustineSilva 4 ай бұрын

I like to let it stretch on the frame itself so it makes it tighter and easier to paint on. I'm getting better at editing, but I should have mentioned it earlier in the video - because for most other projects, I would prewash, but not this one! Thanks for watching! :)

Do you think this is cheaper than buying? Actually, I just realized that it's probably cheaper if you want a ginormous canvas!

@JustineSilva 2 ай бұрын

Craft stores have some pretty great deals on canvases in smaller sizes, but if you're looking for XL or want to use a different type of fabric, this is a great option. Large professional art canvasses can be $300+ so it's a great way to stretch a buck!

how thick was that canvas?

@JustineSilva 17 күн бұрын

My canvas was the Heavy Duty dropcloth from Home Depot. It has a lot of imperfections, but I wanted a simple canvas to play around on. You can get better quality from Blick!

perfectly and properly stapled the canvas... gosh I have seen people who just keep on stapling it from either one side or will staple 2 opposite sides... just one extra tip, do a double staple one over another on corners... its bulky at the corner, sometimes due to the bulk, staples usually just comes out

@JustineSilva 4 ай бұрын

Yes! I definitely threw a few extra staples on the corners to make them stay! I must have cut that clip out. Thanks for watching :)
