How To Pack Paintings for Shipping! Packing a 24x36, Tools needed and Tips!

[@angelshanafelter6089]

I can vouch that that packing job was perfect, because THAT PAINTING IS MINE!!! SQUUUUEEEEEEE!!! 😂 Thank you so much, Mina!!! 😍😍😍

[@MinaVillegasArt]

I'm so glad it arrived safely Angel! Your joy is infectious! I hope it always makes you this happy! Much love to you ❤

[@ManonPetitArt]

Congrats for your painting , it's beautiful . Mina is a wonderful artist and human being 😍

[@judipalumbo]

Great selection....I bet it will give you many years of happiness!

Hang a 1" dowel from ceiling, brackets for bubble wrap and rod from wall for glassine, buy a tape dispenser and your life would be SO much easier !!!!!! everything out of way but ready to use!! (I was a box maker/packer in some former life !!!). I get VERY excited when I come across a pile of boxes (especially a deco or furniture place when they get a shipment of mirrors /art in). I think of myself as the ultimate recycler although my husband refers to me as something else.....

[@alexlover76]

Wow AOA! When I received my painting, my hubby mentioned how well wrapped it was. He said that there was no way that it was going to get damaged with the bubble wrap on it. He was very impressed. He's gotten guitars with less bubble wrap on and they were damaged. He said "bless her heart for making sure that the painting was safe. Thank you again Lot's of love from your friend in Northern Ireland to you HOA Zen Ming Ming kitties and the rest of your wonderful family 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@CynthiaPorterStudio]

I remember when you had far less subscribers. I'm so glad the magic of Mina has been found by so many. When my Mina piece arrived, I memorized the packing in detail.❤

[@gratefulcreations]

AHA!!! Glassine paper. Parchment paper is super hard because tape doesn’t stick to it!! Very cool!! I use dollar store pool noodles, cut in 3” pieces and slit on one side for the corners. Thanks soooo much. 😎

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

I know who I’m asking to wrap Christmas presents!! 🤣. Great video Mina! ❤️

[@MinaVillegasArt]

🤣🤣🤣 thank you Karen! The painting I got from you set the bar very very high, impeccable in every aspect! You're a class act lady, from start to finish! ❤

[@consueloyoung4484]

@@MinaVillegasArt I agree Mina, Karen does shipping beautifully, just like you 🥰

[@mj3818]

Thank you so much! I would also be very interested to know how you protect your large canvases while they’re drying and how you varnish them.

[@tj8114]

Bless you for mentioning which side of the bubble wrap NOT to put next to the painting! I am giving a painting as a wedding gift this weekend😬

[@annehebert6959]

Thank you for showing this. I agree with the bubble wrap comment from Tina - I wouldn't have thought of that. From now on my Art Work will be sent out in a more professional manner. Appreciate this very much. You and HoA are awesome.

[@westfieldartworks8188]

That was really nice. Excellent video!!!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you!

[@selbar1]

Thanks for sharing. I love that the artwork isn't framed or backed. Always such great videos.

[@sharonmansfield3053]

Thank you for the tips. I didn’t think about the bubble wrap tip. It looks very nice, clean and professional! 👍👏🥰❤️🎨

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

You make it look so slick and easy! 👏👏 I noticed a struggle with the bubble wrap package. I wondered if HOA could attach a dowel with some kind of attachment to the wall, kinda like a towel holder but with room for the bubblewrap roll. I'm no handy woman, but I bet he likes figuring stuff out like that if it would help you! It might even be able to be removable??

[@KellysVanVentures]

Mina, you are always so pleasant to watch, I really enjoy your videos. HOA should build you a little roller for your bubble warp roll, so it will be easier for you. :)

[@runinsmth]

Thank you Mina for sharing so much with us! Always such a joy to see you

[@lindahoagland7516]

Thank you so much for this instructional and valuable lesson on how to ship work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@ArtByAngie1231]

That is one professionally packaged painting my friend!! THANK YOU for sharing this invaluable info, that we never think about til after you sell it! This was a wonderful informative video Mina! Thanks for sharing & teaching us ALL about creating & selling our Art!! I’ve missed chatting with you on your Premieres. Hope all is well & joyful my friend! If ya ever need a good laugh, I’m just a message away!!💜🎨🤣 Love & Light! Keep pouring til you’re soaring!!💜🎨🤩

[@KimsArtAlchemy]

Thanks for some great tips on where to get materials! I’m with Karen- gonna get you to wrap prezzies for me. 😆

[@stephaniepotterart]

Great instructional video Mina! The first art I sent out was well protected but anything but uniformed or to a system. I laughed at the bubble wrap, it runs away from everyone. Lol! Nicely done! Thanks 😁👍

[@adatowe4227]

thank you so much for sharing this technique. i think that people should know how much work is entailed to make a canvas come free of harm. You are awesome!

[@heartlandmooninspired]

Thank you Mina, this was extremely helpful! I'm in the process of building a website and needed to know more about shipping professionally, you addressed many of my questions. I have ordered from U-Line before and really like that they deliver so quickly and to my door. Thank you again, I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing your talents and expertise. ♥♥♥

[@wandaloskot]

Omg, I never thought about putting a blue tape on the back before painting - thank you for the first brilliant idea!

[@229rakufire]

I got so excited about sharing ideas with you that I forgot the obvious! You (and your husband) are amazing. I love watching and learning from you and f

[@julieketchum9551]

Thank you for the shipping lesson Mina! Maybe HOA can make you a Bubble wrap holder, like a paper towel holder, on the wall to ease your wrapping process. Not sure that would work, but right now my brain thinks it would. Lol.

[@missbabyj9119]

I love the sound of that glassine paper crinkling lol 😆!!! What a weirdo!!! Thanks for sharing! It's a beautiful piece, going to a lucky owner.

Beautiful sharing big like👍

[@charlenemultach1692]

Thanks Mina. I didn't know about the glassine paper. I was using wax paper the back side to the painting.

[@ms.newyawkeri7559]

Good info. With especially the glassine paper. Thank you for sharing.

[@gerripeter484]

Thank you so much for teaching us. This is good to know information. Have a blessed day ♥️

[@BarnQuiltsbyMountainVisions]

Thank you so much! This was the best mailing tutorial ever!!!!

[@aandrews9141]

And coming back to say... YES!!! To the glassine paper!!! It has been the one thing I have found that does not make any marks on my painting during storage at all!!!

[@kimpina349]

By far the best way to pack and ship art work. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrDuncan526]

Ooops wrote you a novel. Sorry.... I was cracking up watching you with the bubble wrap.. LOL I sent a 24x30 and 2, 16x18 and a 10x16 from Illinois to Texas. I measured out the bigger one then doubled the size cut it, wrapped it measured out another one and wrapped it I did over lap it about an inch, did that with all of them, well sorta, I bought thicker poster board to put between them so only 1 layer of bubble wrap.. Now I wish I had thought of the corner protectors, I rolled bubble wrap for protection, that was a pain but worked.. I used a large packing box, left it flat, was able to slide them right it. The sides were wide enough that I could tape them together good, but had to square off the ends.. They say it cost less if they are flatter.. You did help out big time by flipping the box inside out. I had to wrap with kraft shipping paper.. Hubby's boss sent mine off along with their stuff. only cost $16.. I paid $13.50 to send 1, 11x14 to SC through the post office.. Which was weird because 3 weeks earlier I sent 2, 11x14 to Ohio, cost $6 bucks.. I would prefer to use the post office to keep them in business.. We don't pay any bills on line.. Mainly because hubby doesn't want all his stuff floating around on the web. Stamps cost a flippin fortune tho... Bonnie, PO lady cracks up when we're able to pay all the bills at one time, 11 envelopes don't fit in the slot.. LOL I started my own checking account and use the cash app when I sell things. It's awesome for me to be able to track what I've sold,, Also awesome for hubby when he's short an I have to pay a bill or 2. No fair Right? :) I get $647 a month for SSD, he get's that + a week.. I have a $340 car payment.... When I get on a roll selling, he's happier than I am. Silly man..

[@GraffbyJL]

i suggest using archival ink when you write on the canvas itself, it will last longer without fade or dissolving.

Thank You for doing this Mina!!! I have been worried to even try to some of my larger ones because I worry about them not making it thru the shipping process, plus, during storage at home, I have had some mishaps with the things I have here, so I am afraid anything I press against it will cause indentations of some sort as well.
