Use a tape measure to determine the length, width, and depth of the canvas. Write the measurements down and keep them handy; this will help when you're shopping for a frame. Most tape measures have markings in 1/16 increments, so pay careful attention when measuring. Being off by even 1/8 of an inch can mean buying the wrong frame size. Double check the measurements to make sure they are exact. Frames are just as varied as the canvases they hold, so select a frame based on how you want the finished product to look. Some contrast between the canvas and the frame is pleasing to the eye. Avoid frames that are very similar in color to the canvas. Contrast the style of the canvas with the style of the frame. Simple paintings will look good with ornate frames, and edgy modern art will look good in plainer frames. In general, less is more. Don't choose a frame that detracts from what is on the canvas. Now that you have the canvas's measurements and know what style of frame you want, you can shop for a frame. Find one that is the same length, width, and depth of your canvas. The standard frame sizes are 810, 1114, 1620, 1824, 2024, 2430, and 3040, but some stores will have other sizes like 1020. If you're shopping in-store, call the store to see if they carry the size you're looking for. This will save you from making multiple trips to different stores. Keep a list of what prices stores offer. This will help you find the best deal. Shopping online for a frame is another good option. Websites will have the exact dimensions of the frames they sell online. These usually come in packs of four and can easily be found in a store or online. One pack of four is enough to frame one canvas. Usually, the canvas clips do not require screws. The types of canvas clips that require screws come in seven sizes: 1/8, , 3/8, , , 1, 1 . Measure the frame back to the back of the stretcher bar to find out which size you need.

Summary: Measure the canvas. Choose a frame that compliments the canvas. Buy a frame from a craft store. Buy canvas clips.

Once the wild ride is over, have the camel sit. Dismount and keep a firm hold on the reins. Unlike horses, camels can kick in all directions. Their kicks are very powerful, and very strong. A frightened camel is a spooked camel. If you get too close to it too quickly, it may try to defend itself by kicking you. If you turn your back to the camel, it may chase after you. Even if your camel is no longer running, it may still be feeling anxious. Any sharp, sudden movements may only spook it further. This may help calm and reassure the camel. Talk soothingly to it, and try not to make any sharp, sudden movements. Be sure to keep a firm grip on the reins.

Summary: Get off the camel once you have it under control. Keep a safe distance from your camel. Do not run away from the camel. Do not make any sharp or sudden movements. Try walking in a slow circle around your camel while talking to it calmly.
