How do you Hang your Art PRINT(s)? on little monie$

I was wondering what you guys do with your prints... I mean these aren't just some dunky posters from the mall... but I can't be all getting frames and matte board and all that... shoot.

Any suggestions out there on hanging your prints? products etc.? Affordable? Inovative creative sollutions?

awesum!

That's from the BRC show isn't it priscilla? Unframed prints will usually roll at the corners if the air is humid.

wow, those look great priscilla!

boysbeambitious on Sep 15 '09 at 5:47pm

Yup I believe so.

These aren't my prints, but yeah, this is a monies saving way to display them.

Sweet.. those are nice ideas... Thanks!!!

I used the clips with pushpins before...maybe some on the bottom as well... silver ones from Target

and i just saw this

there must be more options out there... hmm

My friends mum uses wooden palates, painted white. I don't know how to describe them, they are the ones that things get delivered to shops on, if that makes sense.

Anyway, they look pretty cool.

i buy cheap frames from second hand shops for like 50p each

I usually buy from a place like AC Moore/Michaels, they always freaking have coupons + clearance, recently I bought a wood panel frame, looks very nice with Routemaster for $15

not mine, but old pants hangers are great too:

Also: rare earth magnets. Drive a nail flush into the wall, place your piece, position magnet over nail.

I have many printmaker friends, and thus, a whole portfolio full of prints. I'm definitely going out and getting a pile of pant hangers. Great idea.

The clipboards are cool too.

ooo.. i like the pants hangers! The old frames is a nice idea and those coupons for A.c. moore etc... nice

The pants hangers and/or bulldog clips could work if you attach them to like, foam core or stiff tag board. But, if you use adhesive you risk bleeding into the image. AHH! i dunno. i just use that cheapo box frame for Cat on a Skateboard print. other frames I find at Thrift stores.

kennybanzai on Sep 21 '09 at 10:21pm

right.. i bought some prints and they sit in the shipping tube...

I don't want to take the time to flatten them so they hang with the clips and i don't wanna pay for frames... sheesh laweesh... I think if I lived in a city and home i really wanted to invest in long term I'd consider getting frames and more solid hanging materials...

kennybanzai on Sep 21 '09 at 10:22pm

ya i got the Cat on a Skateboard too :)
