Frames are expensive. Especially if you’re buying a lot of them. But there are so many great alternative ways to display artwork and photographs. Here are ten of my favorite affordable ideas.
1. Create a gallery wall of clipboards to hang paintings or photos. These are particularly convenient because you can easily swap out the artwork. [Photo: DIY On The Cheap]
2. Sandwich your artwork between two pieces of glass or acrylic and secure with binder clips. Easy! [Photo: Chez Larsson]
3. “Frame” your art with washi tape! Again, this is a very forgiving material… you can easily remove it from the wall if you want to change things up. [Photo: Via At Home In Love]
4. You could also hang artwork clothesline style, with twine and clothespins. Cheap and simple! [Photo: Apartment Therapy]
5. If you don’t mind tiny holes in the corners of your photos, hang them anywhere using this technique. [Photo: Envers Du Decor]
6. Vintage pant hangers are a great way to hang photos too. [Photo: Via Curbly]
7. You could take it a step further by making one of these wooden structures to mount the hangers on. [Photo: 2 Modern Blog]
8. Instead of hanging clothespins on a piece of string as suggested earlier, mount them on a long piece of wood. [Photo: Via It’s The Life]
9. I love the organic feel of this one… gather some driftwood the next time you’re at the beach and make one of these pretty hanging creations for your photos. [Photo: Morning Creativity]
10. Push pins are always a good option too… try making them glittery to add some sparkle! Here’s the tutorial. [Photo: Merry Brides]
