I have a few nice movie and music posters that I’ve collected recently and can’t figure out how to hang them. For example, I have tour posters that are hand numbered and rare that I paid for. I want to keep them nice. I don’t want to use tape or sticky tack or anything along those lines, because I don’t want the back ruined when I take them down. I can’t really afford to have them framed though, plus that’s kind of tacky. I also have some relatively inexpensive (<0) art. It's nothing fancy, but it's hand drawn and meaningful to me. Any suggestions? Thanks!
P.S. I'm a recent college grad living in a bachelor pad. It's not like I have a fancy home and am trying to impress anyone.
Chosen Answer:
You might consider that poster hanging stuff that looks like gum. Very similar to the gray or blue stuff that you use to hang or stop things from moving during earthquakes.
A very small poster frame will not be a problem either and most are made with acrylic rather than glass- better for your posters. If they do not fit the sizes of the frames- buy mat board in a matching color and float them on that. You won’t have to pay for matting and framing which is crazy expensive and your posters are protected. Walmart carries a decent frame with a black edge, very simple. We did our whole TV Room in Movie posters and everyone thinks my home looks like a model home…
