    oh ok i see where your going i guess thats why you were asking for it cheap because small ones are inexpensive, you can make them go to a art store, and ask if they have the materials to make them should reduce the price by half or less.

    just build the frame with light wood like the stuff for doorpaneling. then like i said go to the art store and buy the canvas material.

    THey don't have to be on a wood frame, you can get acrylic primed canvasses on stiff board for cheap.

    If it dosen't matter how heavy the canvas is just use wood. Go to a hardware store you can get a 8' by 11' sheet of plywood for around $15-18 American. Or go to a construction site when no ones around and grab left over plywood from the dumpster.

    if you want a big one for aerosol and not brushes. strectch out a white bedsheet, i've seen it work out pretty nice sometimes, but make sure it's tight.

    you can buy like these canvas type material boards for about half the price of a proper canvas, and their big.
    also cheap shops are really good
    never buy canvases from an art shop
