STEP 2: HOW TO MAKE DRYWALL MUD / JOINT COMPOUND ART Using pilot holes & screws, assemble your frame starting with the 4 exterior frame pieces, then interior vertical supports, and finally the diagonal supports.– 4 x diagonal support pieces with 45* corners so that it could brace against the exterior frame The exact sizes don’t really matter as long as they functionally support the frame. Then I used the cut-offs from the two 1x2s that I got the 60″ pieces from to create diagonal support pieces. If you have a small frame, then you can get away with just little diagonal support pieces in the corners, but if your frame is as large as mine or larger, then you’ll also need additional support pieces so I also cut an additional 1×2 in half to create two more support pieces. I wanted mine to be about 5ft x 4ft so I cut two 1x2s down to 60″ each and another one in half (two 48″ pieces) and used that for the exterior frame.

Note: if you don’t want to make your own canvas from scratch, you can totally just buy one. Ok so I literally made everything out of scrap wood and unused materials that were lying around my house but in case you don’t have these things on hand, I’ve tried to find sources for as much as I could.
