Mounting pictures without using foam or frame.

[TordFuglstad]

So I'm looking for a very temporary way to hang up pictures, maybe just have them up for a month or so. No frames, and no foam yet.
Double sided tape is a no go, since this ruins the back of the photos.



picture sizes. 60x90cm 30x90cm 50x75cm 35x40cm and 20x30cm

Any ideas? please

Hi,

To be honest I don't think it's quite clear from your post what you are trying to achieve:shrug:

Do you mean just hang photos on a wall without a frame or a mount, like a poster for example?

A temporary solution to hang a picture on the wall, with the possibility to put it on a foam core board later.

Not in my experience. If you're concerned, give it a try on one you can afford to lose first.

What type of surface are you mounting on?

I'm mounting on a painted chipboard wall.
Maybe it'll help if i put some clear tape on the back of the photos where i want to put the blu-tac?

Clip frames ?

Clip frames ?

I think it would be quite expensive to buy clip frames in these sizes as a temp measure.

Super Glue, nails, drawing pins, sellotape, bluetack, bostick, evostick, masking tape, paste, wood glue.

Spray mount onto some cardboard? I wouldn't personally go for blu tac as the paper tends to distort/stretch around the blue tac so you will be left with marks.

Could you glue some thin wood (2cm x 2cm for instance) to the chipboard to use as a support to stand the image on and use drawing pins in the chipboard at the top (not in the image itself but so that the head of the pins overlap onto the image) to hold it in place?

Stick the magnetic tape to the wall, position print and place 2nd magnet over 1st magnet holding the print in place. One in each corner..........job done and no mess or damage to print.
