    Default Decorating help?

    So I found these cute things:
    chibi_hm_sunshine_island_by_ichigoranch-d7p0w2k.jpgPRINT4.jpg

    And I want to cut them out and stick them to the office walls for decoration. But sharky doesn't want stickers on the wall or paper residue or whatever, so he wants me to frame them and hang them up. But I want them separate and spread out.

    Any advice for a compromise please?

    You could get some little frames, cut them out, & place them each in their own frame. So you'll have them spread out as you like & they'll be framed & not stuck on the walls as Sharky likes.

    I was thinking that, but that many little frames (I have like 3 more character sheets) might get expensive :/

    Might be good as a backup plan, though!

    Yeah, the cost could be steep.

    To spread out the cost, you could do one sheet at a time. Maybe do one now, then a few months later get a few more. You could sometimes find frames cheap when stores want to get rid of them for newer merchandise.

    What you could do, too, is get one of those frames that has separate spots for smaller pictures. I know it won't be spread out as you like, but each one could be framed individually.





    For the portions that won't fit the pics you have, you can just use personal pictures.

    Laminate them or frame them. Any issues about using thumbtacks for the walls?

    I don't think so. Thumb tacks might be a good idea, thanks!

    :monster:

    Thumb tacks might be good. If you framed them, then you'd still have to put a little hole in the wall to hang the pic. Anyway, the small holes can easily be refilled w/ a little white toothpaste or just by painting over them, if you decide to later redecorate.

    Stick it all onto a piece of cardboard, cut them out leaving a bump at the top of each one, hole punch the bump and use key chain rings to hang them from wherever you would have hung the frames.

    You may need two rings per image so theyre not hanging perpindicular to the wall unless you get a short chain for each one.

    Possibly if theyre already printed on something stiff enough, forget the cardboard and just do the cut out and the hole punch.

    If thats too fiddly, I'd also go with blutac/stickytac but I dont understand the preference of sticking holes in your walls with thumbtacks over a little glue residue.
