Carla decided to surprise Mike for Christmas. She wanted to stretch a favorite canvas. I was thrilled to help her.
The first step was to choose the correct hammer.
Carla's tool of choice.
We hammered and glued the frame...
then clamped and waited (we wrapped presents in the mean time).
The frame is ready to be stretched.
Our first attempt, stapling one whole side. Luckily Renee was there to save the day.
Much better....notice the Skyping going on in the background. That's Renee offering her expertise.
Stretch and staple, stretch and staple.
Approaching the corners.
With Renee's help, we're sure to succeed.
First corner done...
The rest was a snap!
Not sure....
Carla was an amazing helper. This was a fun project. I hope Mike likes it.
