Mounting A Poster Diy Clear Away From The Wall

Leave to dry for 10 minutes.

Mounting a poster diy clear away from the wall.

Or you could use staples nails or tacks. Step 3 sand the cut edges of the wood block to smooth. The best way to hang your posters is to know what not to do first. Apply adhesive all the way around the edges as close to the edge as possible.

It should be barely tacky. Use multiple binder clips to hold posters and photo enlargements or smaller prints like postcards from their edges. You can hang them from lines hooks and screws against or away from walls. To mount a print place it face down on a clean surface.

If the poster is tightly rolled temporarily hold it down with a few strips of scotch tape. You want the poster and the plywood to stick to each other but not to the paper. Spray the back of the poster only if the adhesive manufacturer recommends that both surfaces be coated. If your photos are still a little curved instead of flat it s a good idea to apply a second row of adhesive all the way around the edges.

Thoroughly spray the foamcore with adhesive. Mark a spot at the center of the back side of the block toward the top about 2 inches from the top edge for a standard sized poster if you intend to hand the poster on the wall. Drill a hole through the tape at each wall hanger marking using a drill bit one size smaller than the wall anchor. Lay out your poster and foamcore on newspaper.

You could use duct tape. But that s a super bad idea because duct tape can get too stuck to your poster and damage your wall. If you want to add dimension to your poster and don t mind a permanent solution try buying a blank canvas from the art supply store and mounting your poster with a gel medium such as mod podge or for the less brave mounting tape or repositionable mounting spray. Nobody wants ripped posters and paint being peeled off either.

Visit a local art supply store to see the types of backing that are available or make your own with thin sheets of wood or plastic. Always test a small spot on the poster first to make sure the ink won. Mount your poster with mod podge on blank canvas. Drill at that spot about halfway through the depth of the wood block.
