Try nails: two small ones at the bottom, that the panel sits on top of, and then two more at the top, with the heads overlapping the front of the painting to keep it from tilting forward and falling off. That’s four holes in the wall to fill with toothpaste when you move out instead of just one, but it will allow you to hang your panel without damage from glue or holes poked through it.

Panels are meant to be framed.

Though I have used to nail method to hang a painting on hardwood board, just balancing it on 2 nails.

Dustyrose,

They are clips that usually come in a pack of four.
One for each corner of a board or unframed panel that has it’s own rigidity.
A wire or cord is then threaded or passed through each clip and pulled tight.

When looking at the back of the painting you will have a cord or wire 3or 4inches in from each edge running all the way round from which the painting can be hung in the usual way.
From the front you see two small prongs at each corner but hardly noticable.
They seem to be a mail order item only and are about $4.80 – 7+ a set.

I only wanted a few so I just made my own from plastic covered wire from Sears, Cost $3.50 ……… for more than I’ll ever need.

My method is not good enough for a room that matters, but ok for getting them up off the floor.
If my explanation was not understandable, just ask again.

Cheers

I have successfully glued small strips of light wood to the back and then screwed eyelets in each end and threaded nylon cord through.The straight strip across the back about 2/3rds up helps to stop curving. These have sold and the purchaser can make their own decision on framing, but they don’t look too bad unframed, hope this helps. Jane.

I agree with Godzoned (Debbie). I just can’t figure out what to do with all the leftover pieces of glass I have now since I have been collecting frames :confused: . Sure I could use 1 or 2 as pallets but I have so many pieces now and no place to store them I am afraid they are going to get broken – guess I should just dispose of them somehow.

Push pins might be a good option as well. Especially the ones with the long points. The canvas can rest on the bulky part of the pin.

Another thought was to make a rectangle of mdf board. cut a hole out of the center much smaller than the canvas. Float the canvas over the mdf “frame” and then add eye hooks and wires to hang. I would certainly gesso and paint the mdf so it looked better but oh the possibilities of that. Could be a most interesting way to present these panels.

Here’s what I’ve done..
Either glue to a piece of wood cut to size,
or
use a ready made ‘clip’ frame, one with glass, a backing board and clips that graps each edge. Replace the backing board with your panel and voila!
each clip has a hole for haonging on to a small picture hook.
