Beautiful giraffe! Best in Paint-by-Number Kits

I only painted 1/4 of the giraffe but I love it already. We bought it with a lion and an elephant, all frameless, to put in our sons room. I'm so excited to see how they look on the wall! TIP: The canvas comes folded and packed with paints and brushes. As soon as ours came in the mail we took the canvases out of the bags, unpacked, smoothed them down a bit with our hands, then rolled them into a tube and finally secured the tube with a rubber band. When we finally got to the point where we could start using them, just being in a cell together for a few weeks went a long way in smoothing out most wrinkles. But just in case, we stroked them. We placed the patterned canvas between two towels, lightly sprayed the back of the canvas with water, and started on the lowest setting of the iron. In the end we had to set it to about medium temperature to see any real change, but it was enough to balance the canvases nicely. We then bought some 20 x 20 square boards cheaper (about $2) non-wood wooden boards (same stuff as notepads) from Lowes and we use that for painting. We only use binding clips to hold it in place. That works great!
