The Gallerie Wrap standard version is intended for smaller pictures. The stretching bars are available in 8 different lengths ranging from 8 inches (20,3 cm) to 24 inches (61 cm) so you can tailor the frame size to suit your requirements. The bars provide a depth of 2.90 cm and the picture must be roughly 3.5 cm wider on each side than the finished frame.

(Standard Version)
Step-by-Step Instruction
1) Peel the yellow adhesive strip from the bars. Insert the bars into the positioning corners with the adhesive facing up. Make sure the bars are flush with the positioning corner, and press firmly down inside the positioning corner. The positioning corners have tabs.
The bars can only be inserted one way.
2) Remove the positioning corners by pulling up while holding the stretcher bars down.
3) Flip the frame over and center over artwork. Push bars down so they make contact with back of image.
4) Run a small bead of pH neutral glue along the inside of the stretcher bars.
5) Trim the excess material around the edges of the stretcher bars.
6) Pull the bars up to close the frame. Insert staple into slots. Push or gently hammer staples flush with frame. Repeat on all corners.
7) Cut the corners outward where the bars meet at a 45 degree angle. Fold the corners onto the adhesive ends.
8) Insert four tensioners into the v-slots located in the frame corners. Make sure tensioners are not touching artwork.
