Find a safe workspace outside that you can staple a drop cloth to (garage walls work well).

Hang the cloth so there are little or no ripples in the fabric.

Using a roller, prime the canvas with the primer, and allow to dry. Since the canvas soaks up a lot of paint, it may need to dry overnight. As the paint dries it will pull the canvas tighter and reduce most of the wrinkling of the fabric.

Flip the canvas edges over and cut off any excess material so that you have approximately 1½ of canvas to fold to the underside.

Fold back the 1½ of canvas and secure with duct tape to all of the edges. Cut the corners so that you do not have multiple layers at the corners.

Flip over the canvas to reveal the finished product.
