Canvas framing?

I've been a div and ordered what I call a canvas. I even asked was it a canvas to be told yes it was.

It is - it's cloth that's printed on but no frame.

How can I mount/frame this? It's 50cm x 75cm

You need to get a stretcher (the wooden frame). These come made to measure and are usually self accelbly so you need to be a bit handy. Or it take it to a picture framer to be stetched.

Where are you? I might be able to recommend a framer

I'm in Yorkshire. The print was only £6 - should have realized when I ordered it. I essentially need an A1 size frame

Ok so you could fudge it a bit if it’s not a priceless work of art.

Go to the Range, or hibbycraft or an art shop. Buy a canvas in the right size. Remove that canvas from its stretcher (the wooden bit) and put yours on it using a staple gun and by pulling it taunt
