- A small hammer
Step 1: Lay out the frame on a flat, clean surface
Lay out the parts of the frame
Place the frame parts on a table or on the ground. Pay attention to which is the front and which is the back of the frame.
You can identify the front because this is the open part of the frame. It is here where the canvas is inserted.
The back, on the other hand, is the closed side of the frame where the canvas cannot be inserted.
Step 2: Place the frame sections against each other and tap the butterfly connector into place
2.1 Butterfly connectors
Push the butterfly connectors in the frame.
2.2 Frame corners
Keep the frame corners firmly pressed together while doing this.
2.3 Hammer
Carefully tap the butterfly connectors fully into the frame with a small hammer.
2.4 Repeat
Repeat this at all corners.
Step 3: Screw the mounting brackets to the wall
3.1 On the wall
Drill holes in the appropriate place (option to use a wall plug, depending on your wall) and tightly screw on the mounting brackets.
Once you've hung the frame, you can easily tighten the screws and adjust the frame so that it is level.
First, place the top mounting brackets. After you have hung the assembly, you can place the additional mounting brackets at the bottom so that the assembly hangs tightly against the wall
3.2 Hanging the frame
Place the frame over the brackets and your frame will hang there!
3.3 Adjusting level
Use the Allen key to help you hang the frame level.
By tightening one of the screws, you will be able to adjust the frame so that it is level.
Step 4: Stretch across the changeable Art Print
4.1 Positioning the print
First push the rubber string into the four corners of the ArtFrame and then push the long sections into place.
Tip: In the videos under 4.2 and 4.3, you will see an example of how to correctly position the canvas and how to incorrectly position it.
4.2 Correct placement
When you've positioned the print correctly, you won't be able to see any of the white rubber string at the front of your ArtFrame.
4.3 Incorrect placement
Tip: If you can see the white rubber string at the front of your ArtFrame, then you haven't positioned the print correctly.
Step 5 (optional): Position the sound-absorbing panels in the frame
5. Installing the optional sound-absorbing panels
Place the acoustic panels with the harder side against the wall.
The fabric keeps the panel in place. Stretch the fabric a little and slide the panel behind it to keep it in place.
Enjoy your new wooden ArtFrame
You can now enjoy your new ArtFrame.
Switch out the print!
The great thing about an ArtFrame is that – as you've just discovered – it's really easy to position the print. This means you can easily order a new print and switch up the mood of your room in an instant.
Maybe go for a fun Christmas print at Christmas or that perfect holiday photo after your summer holiday. Or surprise somebody in your home on their birthday with a cool cake.
Tip: Keep hold of your old canvas because once you've had a go at changing it, you'll want to do it every week!
