Buy a frame that is deep if you have a thick canvas. You want the canvas to be able to sit in the frame. If your canvas is not thick, then you do not have to get such a deep frame.

Slip the canvas in the back of the frame, as you would do for any other picture. Place a piece of paper in the back of the frame once the canvas is in it. This will help protect your painting from dust and give it a professional look.
