Paper Canvas Making: Part 4

When your paper canvas has dried thoroughly you will need to remove it from the wooden frame. You will need a Stanley knife (retractable utility knife) to cut the paper along the wooden frame edge.

Continue to cut all around the paper canvas along the edge of the wooden frame.

Once cut, slowly and carefully use your hands to put pressure on the inner corners of the paper canvas from the back of the wooden frame.

Continue to push the paper firmly away from the frame along each of the corners and edges.
