I love how a well framed painting looks, but I am not willing to shell out the expensive prices that most painting frames cost.
In this video I create a floating frame for one of my favorite acrylic pours and it only costs me $4.25. I was suprised at how well even my proof of concept turned out.

Making your own floating frames is exponentially cheaper than purchasing one. I use the craft boards that my Lowe’s carries. It involves some extra cuts and glueing, since they don’t come in an L shape, but still. It’s worth it. I also use tile spacers to make sure they gap around the painting is uniform. The downside to using craft boards is that I’m limited in the size of frame I can create. If I had a table saw, it wouldn’t be an issue. Regardless, it’s great you’re showing your audience that constructing frames isn’t terribly difficult if you have the proper tools.

Love this David. Actually, you could have used the deeper molding even if you don't have a deep edge canvas. You can use z-clips and screw those into the frame and canvas. That way, you can have a student-grade canvas in a "deep edge" frame and make the painting look like it was always deep edge. :) This would help with selling paintings also, and as you said, it's not much of a financial outlay.

I've spent so, so, sooooo much time worrying about, touching up and finishing my sides because i have always considered them part of my artwork.... i still do, however, with a slight extra cost, i actually believe this genius will be MUCH LESS WORK than it is to do all I do to my sides.... and they would "look more professional" - which i air-quote because a part of me is sad by this, as i have come to love how in fluid art the piece drips off and the piece continues onto the sides... but i don't think everyone thinks like i do (lol, what a revelation).
@LeftBrainedArtist
@LeftBrainedArtist Ай бұрын
If i want people to see the sides I just make the pieces bigger so you can still see the sides a bit. I agree about the sides. I actually like that they are dripped off and that they aren't perfect. Makes it much more obvious this is an individual work and not mass produced.

Fortunately I'm also a woodworker as well as fluid artist, among many other skills. I have all the tools so I've built many frames using several different types of materials. Yours is a very clean, viable, inexpensive and attractive option. I am running into the same issue with finished art overload. It's hung all over my house. I just donated 50 smalls to a local charity organization but still have a massive number that I've kept. I don't have the connections to sell my art nor the time to exhibit at craft fairs. My only option is to stop pouring so often and that's what I've done.

Morning David, l was thing about exactly this problem when l couldn't sleep last night. Then l go to KZfaq and voilà, there you are with the solution! Just a thought, you could use the deeper wooden trim, by just packing it out so the painting is flush? Timber always looks so much nicer than plastic, and it can also be stained or painted to suit. Many thanks for the idea, I'll be paying a visit to my local DIY store this morning.😊

Have you ever used the little wooden panels or planks I guess at Hobby Lobby? They’re not big, no more than maybe a foot or two. I think this is genius and I’m gonna pass on to my husband to do this for me but I’m wondering if you’ve made any from wood because I also like the wood look and don’t want to spend a lot of money for expensive lumber. I know the planks at Hobby Lobby don’t come in a lot of sizes but it’s cheap wood and wouldn’t leave me with 17 extra feet lol. Your thoughts and/or experience with that?

Yes, 90 degrees. I just did 45% custs on both side. I took the exact measurement of my canvas side and added 1/8" for each side (1/4" total) and cut my piece so the shorter end of the rail section, not the bottom section of the L, from one side to there other measured my canvas + 1/4". That way I had a box of 1/8 all the way around. This first one in the video I only did 1/16 and that wasn't enough room and ended up being too tight.

I switch between Craftsmart White glue and Elmer's Glue all. I'd have to go back to this video to remember specifically.

Looks good but I prefer to see the painted sides of the paintings

With these smaller 3/4" frames you can see the sites in a well made floater frame (this one was too close). With 1"+ I agree I like to see the sides.

If you aren't trying to make a living with your painting, Habitat for Humanity's ReStore can sell them and that way you are also making a donation to a great cause. Another place, at least in my area, is St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. Someone asked me if I would be upset if I came across any of my pieces at a yard sale or craft fair. I guess it would just be another way of helping someone make a living and still enjoy painting.

Hi David, is your frame plastic or wood?
@LeftBrainedArtist
@LeftBrainedArtist 10 ай бұрын
Vinyl (so plastic). You can buy wood trim it is just much more expensive.

I make my own custom frames, but I make them for apocalyptic ruggedness because most art won't survive into the new age. However, the problem is they take up more space.

Great now all I need is a $500 saw. All I can do is try to cut these with a hand saw.

That works too. There is cheap template to use with a hand saw I've seen a lot of people with or maybe ask a neighbor to cut a bunch for you?
