Step 4: Hanging the Giant Picture

I am sure there are several ways to hang up your photo.  You could discreetly put a nail in each corner, or in the middle of the top and bottom (it's light so it won't need much) - that would be easy.

We used duct tape to hold loops of wire and hooked those over nails - super high-tech, only not :)  A view of the back:

The wire has slipped out and needed retaped, so I might go with the nail method or get a less-slick wire.

 Here's the view looking into their room - I love it, and so do they!!
So go make one!!  you can do this!!  (FYI, Here's the post about the stenciled dresser)

It has been a year since I completed this project.  The picture is still looking great, not fading, etc - I'll try to keep you posted as time goes on, so right now, so far so good - you can see a more recent picture of it on this Butterfly Bedroom Wall Post.

  1. I love this project! Great job. I used the same foam board to make a giant bulletin board to display Christmas cards. I just happened to have a large roll of cork leftover from a previous project. Luckily someone at Lowes warned me about the spray painting issue! They also pointed me in the direction of a good adhesive that doesn't eat away at the foam. The whole thing turned out great. I'm now thinking about how I could layer the foam + cork + photo print to make a bulletin/photo board. Thanks for sharing! (tammy@maddreyhomes.com)

  2. Have you thought about using the coke tab method to hang these? :)

  3. I wonder if the 3M strips would work to hang these. I've used them quite successfully on several different types of things.
