To hang a floating frame on a canvas, you essentially secure the canvas to the frame using offset clips.
Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided reference:
- Position the Frame: Place the floater frame face down on a flat surface.
- Align the Canvas: Carefully position your canvas on top of the frame, ensuring it's centered.
- Attach Offset Clips:
- Place one offset clip at the top center of the canvas and frame.
- Place another offset clip at the bottom center of the canvas and frame.
- These clips will act as connection points.
- Secure the Clips: Screw in both offset clips into the canvas frame. Make sure the screws are tight enough to hold the canvas securely, but not so tight that they damage either the canvas or the frame.
- Check Alignment: Turn the work around to check if the canvas is still aligned and centered within the frame.
- Adjust if needed: If the canvas is not centered, re-position it and the clips and re-secure them.
Key Considerations:
- Offset clips are essential for creating the floating effect, lifting the canvas slightly away from the frame.
- Centering is crucial for an aesthetically pleasing final result.
- Careful screwing is important to prevent damage to both the frame and the canvas.
By following these steps, you can securely and effectively hang your canvas within a floating frame.
