Framing

Recommended Frames

For plastic canvases I sell the following frames & easels:

Gold Alphabet Frame / Silver Alphabet Frame

Small Wooden Natural Easel / Small Wooden White Easel

Large Wooden Natural Easel / Large Wooden White Easel

 

For the gold and silver alphabet frames I always remove one of the perspex sheets from the frame.  Have one perspex sheet at the back which I stick the tapestry to with velcro or sellotape.  With the second piece of perspex I trace around it with white card, cut to size and slide in the back behind the perspex.  The white backing helps the colours pop.

The following frames also work really well.

Boxalls acrylic 6 x 8 inch photo frame. With additional 8 x 3 mm magnets placed in each corner to fill the thickness of the tapestry.

Kikkerland Set of 3 photo hangers £14.50

Hobbycraft Black or White Deep Box Frame 15 x 15cm 6cm

Hobbycraft Grey Shadow Box Frame 18 x 18cm £6

If you don't want to put any nails in the wall, there are lots of magnetic hooks out there.

BD Art 9 x 9 inch shadow box frame with 5 x 5 inch opening. Comes in white, black and oak.

All maps I recommend you use a local framer. I leave a good centimetre of plain canvas showing before starting the frame. No mount, no glass. Frame above is 2cm wide and 4 cm deep.

If you have any other framing suggestions, I'd love to hear, it's really helpful!
