Anyone know of any cool looking yet cheap ways of hanging posters.
Something that doesnt leave a mark on the wall and looks cool, and no, not blu tac or selotape you smart ass out there! :P

haha, I was going to say sticky tac. It truly is useful.
You should have a giant poster board on your wall (really thin) so that you can hang everything on that, reducing the marks.

steel wire and hooks.

hey anon, thats what i was thinking, but how do i hang them to the ceiling, where do i get em from?
Any other ideas?

i use masking tape. no problems here especially with glossy posters.

You have an IKEA near you? Go there. There are lots of great ideas contained within the store walls, including items to use for hanging things up.

If you are hanging the poster w/out frame ( + sounds like you are going for no frills) try bulldog clips.
Any office supply or art store has them...

Have the artwork laminated onto a 'foamex' board

yeah radar, those are the bad boys, might try bulldog clips tho if i dont get any luck with anything else

david, per wall i use 1 horizontally placed steel wire which is tightened with 2 swivels. one on each side. each swivel is attached to the wall. that way i can hang up stuff across the entire wall and still move them around by using hooks. you can buy it all at any hardware store, should be around 10 bucks or so. easy to setup.

Nice JazX, been eyeing em for a while.
Anon - you got any photos, I understand what your talking about, would be nice to see a photo though.
- anon0
sorry, no photos, don't have a digital camera nor a phone camera.

radar get them framed with black metal around them leaving a bit of room outside of the poster mat excellent
