What can I create with this kit?
Using the stretcher bars provided in this kit you will be able to make two different sizes to a max total of 20 canvases.
As you will then already have all the required tools and accessories to create canvasses all you will need to continue producing is more canvas sheets and stretcher bars giving you a low production cost per canvas of approx. Ā£2.00
6" x 8" canvas
Not only that but by chopping up a larger image into smaller sections you can create large multi panel canvas artworks.
What else can will I be able to do?
When it comes to stretching canvas, you generally need to leave a little bit of extra material beyond your printed area which is used to stretch and secure the canvas material to the back of the frame, you can take advantage of this by using A3 sized canvas sheets in combination with A4 sublimation prints
Adding some A3 canvas sheets along with 10Ā stretcher bars will allow you to also produce the further sizes below using A4 sublimation prints.
