DIY Floating Frames that Anyone Can Make!

This article was originally posted on The Wood Whisperer.
Summary
The Wood Whisperer shares a quick DIY method for making custom floating frames for canvas prints that fit better and cost less than store-bought options. The project uses a table saw, miter saw, and drill; suggests picking up “project boards” from a hardware store; includes a materials/cut list for a 16×16 print; and recommends handy tools, a spray finish, and a sawtooth hanger for mounting.

What artwork would you frame first, and would you finish the frame with paint or a clear coat to show the wood grain?

Don’t miss the pre-order pricing for Caleb James’ Dry Bar Cube!

Canvas prints always look better in a floating frame. Many frames are commercially available but most will be cheaply made and won’t be a perfect fit for your artwork. Fortunately, making your own DIY floating frame is easy and inexpensive. All you need is a table saw, miter saw, and drill. For the wood, head to the “project boards” section of your local hardware store.
