It all depends on the size and brand of the canvas. I usually buy mine at Michael's or Hobby Lobby and the medium sized ones are on sale for approximately 12 dollars. However, the huge canvases can cost up to 150 dollars.

Too many variables. What size canvas? Is this for a painting I assume? What location? What style of stretch?

How can you paint on both sides of a canvas Have a canvas and want to put stretch canvas on back so I can paint on both sides for a wall partion?

I would stretch 2 canvases separately and then attach them back-to-back, then maybe trim the edges for a finished look. If you need it thinner stretch onto both sides of stretcher bars and trim the second canvas to not overlap the front of the other side, then again, trim for a finished look - maybe hot glue a nice ribbon that matches your decor?


What is Canvas Photo?

A canvas print is a picture that is printed onto a piece of canvas. It forces the image to stretch, and gives it an almost painted-picture look in a way. It's very professional looking when done correctly.


Can you stretch canvas after it's been painted?

No, you cannot. The canvas is stretched ever so slightly around a frame and then a sealing agent is used, gesso. This insures that the paint stays on the surface of the canvas, as opposed to soaking it up. The paint will most likely crack and possibly flake off if the canvas is stretched after painting.

How do you use painter's tape to make a straight line on canvas with paint without having the paint seep under the tape?

Star with a well stretched canvas. Gesso or prime the canvas. Place your painter's tape firmly on the surface of the canvas. With the edge of an old credit card, carefully press the edges down. Do not over stretch the canvas or damage the surface. Apply your paint from the tape to the canvas (NOT from the canvas to the tape) give the paint time to set up but not dry completely. Remove the tape in a slow steady movement pulling down and toward the painted area... do not allow the tape to sag and mar the fresh paint or leave wet paint in undesireable places. Allow the paint to dry completely.

How do you stretch canvas ballet shoes?

If canvas ballet shoes are too small or need to be broken in, you can do one of two things. The first thing to do, which may or may not make them more comfortable for your foot, is to wear them around for long periods of time, whether it be at the studio or around the house. This will eventually stretch and shape the material to your foot. You can also try using a shoe horn to stretch out the canvas. This may not work as well because you risk stretching the shoe too far.
