Hanging a Poster

I have had this mini poster for over two years now and have been meaning to figure out how to display it cheaply since moving into our house. Finally, here it is, displayed in the bedroom. Here's a quick, easy and inexpensive way of hanging your own posters or unframed art!

You will need:
poster or piece of art
2 pop tabs
masking tape for smaller art or duct tape for larger art
thread for smaller art or string for larger art
1 nail
a hammer

Instructions
Place pop tabs on back of poster somewhere near the middle vertically (see photo below) and measure the length of threaded needed to hang the art. Make sure it is short enough so that it hides behind the art rather than sticking out above on the nail, but long enough to be able to tie it to both pop tabs.


Once you have cut the thread, tie it to both pop tabs.

Cut thin pieces of tape (I used masking tape - 6 thin pieces in total). Feed a piece of tape through the pop tab so that it lies under the outside rings of the pop tab and over the middle part (see photo below). Press the tape to secure it to the artwork.


Place two more thin pieces of tape horizontally across the first piece of tape securing the pop tab in place (pictured above).

Repeat process for other pop tab, making sure that they are equal distance from the edge of the frame. This will ensure that the art can be hung straight on the wall.

Finally, hammer the nail in the wall and hang your art!
