A while ago I tried to post some pictures and a description of how I have used ribbon to wrap the edge of a canvas. Here is a better description I hope
1 Tools and materials needed
Stapler, scissors, Mat board strips 1/2" wide, 1.5" wide ribbon, and the canvas
2 Beginning Detail
It is important to leave some ribbon hanging out at the beginning. This will be folded over to create a finished edge later
3 Applying the ribbon and mat edging around the frame
4 More details of the application
5 The start / stop junction
Note that the tab of ribbon that was left out at the beginning is folded back on itself
6 Pull over the corners
This can be a little tight
7 Stretch the ribbon over the matboard and staple to the back
(sorry the picture is a little blurry)
8 When you come to the beginning end staple the bottom ribbon down first
