alternative ways to hang a picture

[Jag-D]

Right, I won a photo comp some time ago and the prize was a rather large laminated print of the submission

I want it on the wall in the office, but the only problem is that it's gonna cost too much (at the moment) for a frame of that size...of course I could pin it, but dont want big ugly pins rammed through it

So I'm looking for alternatives on how to hang this blasted thing

Not really ideal as it's an unframed laminated print

Silicone sealer.

You know you want to.

I tried a quick search and didn't find what I was thinking of, but I rememebr posters in my school hung in larger versions of these when I was a kid

You'll need to keep it flat. Surely you can run to a clip frame from The Range or similar??

I hope you don't want it moving after.

It's whether it would be secure or not..the walls in this house are ste and the picture is something like 2'x3' IIRC

This stuff was invented to solve your problem:

Ikea do sell quite large 'glass' fronted frames for relatively little money. Wood surround, 'glass' front, cardboard backing and some springy metal bits to hold it all together (just). They are pretty basic, but better than Blu-Tack - put the picture in that and use those pub-style (screw to back of frame, rawlplug, screw to wall) hangers.

Should keep your picture safe while it's there and not cost the earth.

Fit an extractor fan to the wall then cover it with the picture so its held on by suction.

Me too, Sprint? - cost me £144 to win the competition in subsequent framing costs...

A couple of these should hold it.

Poster hangers (plastic slides top & bottom), few quid each at the most, pretty ribbon through the top to hang?

Was just going to suggest the same, but minus the pretty ribbon. I would've said string. Probably better to listen to the above post over me though.

Mirror plates.

www.eframe.co.uk do some pretty cheap frames as well.
