Canvas Clips Installation Instructions

A canvas clip is a tension clip that holds a canvas in the frame. We send a preset number of clips with each canvas frame based on the size.

Your canvas clip packet will include: 

• Canvas clips
• Screws

You'll also need the following to attach your clips: 

• Screwdriver

How To Install Canvas Clips

Lay the clips out equally around the back of the frame so they can best support the canvas. 

The side of the clip with the hole goes on the frame. The clip's arch should point towards the back of the frame. 

Attach the clip to the frame with the screws provided.

Offset Clips Installation Instructions

Securing your canvas in your floater frame is easy with offset clips. Depending on the size of your frame, we send a preset amount that will keep your canvas safe and secure in your frame.

Your canvas clip packet will include: 

• Offset clips
• Screws

You'll also need the following to attach your clips: 

• Screwdriver

How To Install Offset Clips

Line up the miter lines of the frame and stretched canvas.
