I've just got some canvas done of some fish. Thay have a wooden frame. I was told that the best way to get them on the wall is to use some sort of velcro that don't mark the wall when you decide to move the picture. Do you guyshave any ideas? As at moment the picture don't have any hooks or anything like that 2 use.

afternoon chopper - i think it depends on the size of the frame to be honest

I tried putting up a large print with the 3M velcro strips but it wouldn't hold properly. could have been my rubbish technique, but it did feel like the size of the picture was an issue.

For smaller frames, the 3M Command strips are great. Easy to use and they are easy to remove with no fuss too.

Thanks for that. Now thinking of it the guy that done the prints 4 me said about the comand velcro stuff. So I'll look into that. As the prints aren't too big. Thanks for jogging my memory.

I have 2 pictures up with the command velcro strips, i used more than needed for the weight guides though.

2 on a smaller frame 60x40 at the top corners

4 on a bigger frame 120x80, 1 in each corner
