Things You'll Need
Spray adhesive
Masking tape (optional)
If you regularly work on crafts or art projects that use canvas as a material, you may find yourself in need of a way to securely glue metal to canvas. While there is a wide variety of glues available on the market, not all of them are suited to attach a porous material such as canvas to a non-porous material such as metal. According to the creators of ThisToThat.com, a reference website dedicated to methods of gluing different materials together, the best glue to use to attach metal to canvas is a classic spray adhesive.
Step 1
Spray the adhesive on the canvas in the area you want to attach your metal to. Protect the rest of your canvas with masking tape if the area is small.
