Step 3Attaching the Canvas (Optional)
Decide where you want your canvas to line up on the board. You can adjust it out toward any edge. This is completely aesthetic.
Brush an even coat of gesso over the entire surface of the board. Gesso dries quickly, so work as quickly as is reasonable, and brush over the outer edges last.
Immediately press your canvas onto the board where you planned to put it. Rub over it with your hands to be sure it's completely adhered. No gesso should be bleeding up through the canvas. If a little comes through you'll probably be okay.
Allow to dry completely (this will probably take overnight.)
Flip it over onto a cutting approved surface and trim the excess canvas. Trim as close to the board and as neatly as possible.
