This little canvas floating frame was so easy and actually pretty fun to build. It’s been awhile since I’ve been out in the garage building.

So the first thing is to decide on how much of a gap you want around your canvas. I thought an 1/8″ gap would be just about perfect for the look I wanted.
So I used my miter saw to cut all my frame edges at 45 degree angles. Of course you don’t have to miter the edges.
Once I had all four sides cut, I sanded down any rough/jagged edges from the cuts. Don’t skip the sanding! It will help you get that perfect fitting corner!
