Hi im new to acrylics but have done some nice pics and was pondering how to go about fixings so customers can hang them, i am initially going to try selling online my works can be placed in different orientations as the customer wishes so... how do i go about this do i
1) not bother
2) provide the wire etc and fixings for the customer to place as desired
3) fit myself?
help, what do i need to use would it be wire? any special sort? and how do i attach this if so.
Extremely greatful for any help I dont want to advertise before I know what im doing!
my pics are on stetched canvas loxley frames wit painted sides, no other framing
cheers Lou

Hi Lou and welcome to WC :wave:

Take a look here at "canvas wrap hanger"
http://www.picturebusiness.uk.com/workshop.htm
Im not sure if they are available where you are located.
If not come back to me with your location as there are other options.

I would just put the fixings in a small plastic bag and staple to the back of the frame.
