Question: What can I do with enlarged photos to hang without framing!?
I have some beautiful photos of flowers, 20x30 and 16x20!. I do not want to frame them, it would take away from the affect and detail!. What could I put them on, without paying a lot of money, to hang them in a gallery effectWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hey Maureen -
I've used foam core with some success - just be aware, they will be very light weight!.

I would strongly suggest using spray mount as your adhesive!. It's a little sticky to work with, but it prevents gaps and bubbles!. You can get it at your local office supply or craft store!.

If you would like your pics to be a little sturdier, I would suggest mounting them on foamcore, then mounting the foamcore on particle board so it's a little more substantial!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

put them on a bigger white sheet like these !? http://www!.wmin!.ac!.uk/mad/images/Gallery!.!.!.

You can try one of those Foam boards from a craft store or one of those frames for oil paintings that have no glass!. They might be more expensive but will not be permanent and are easy to removeWww@QuestionHome@Com
