How to stretch watercolor paper, I'm going to show you how to do this quickly & easily without lots of equipment.

My homemade stretcher boards can be made in many different sizes. They can be used again and again and there is no need to damage their surface with staples. These have given me MUCH better results than masking tape and my boards don't cost a fortune to make either.
