Question: What do I do with a canvas I painted but didn't stretch!?
This was my first attempt at painting, and I purchased 10 sheets of canvas that came in a tablet!. Since I was totally clueless, I just went to town and painted up a storm! lol!. Now I have painted canvases but they weren't "stretched"!?!? Is that bad!? How do I get them mounted!?

I don't necessarily want them in a frame, but I like them and want to put them on my wall :) Do I just staple them on some wood!? (I told you I am totally clueless!) ty for any help!!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you can buy special stretcher bars at the local art supply store, they are allready composed as a frame so you can stretch the canvas on it, since you havent stretched a canvas before, ask someone who knows how to do this, otherwise you ll have problems for sure!.

you could just stretch it after the fact!.!.!.

but it would be much more fun to do something else creative
-sew on fabric for a border
-hang from a horizontal stick
-skewer it onto some hooksWww@QuestionHome@Com
