what do you use to hang up posters

Last year I used double sided tape to hang up everything in my room. I had so many things fall off the wall. I would retape it and it would fall again lol. What do you find works on posters that you want to stay up all year?

Re: what do you use to hang up posters

hot glue gun. i don't care what it does to the walls, it's the only thing that will keep things up.

but i only hang up things that stay for the whole year. they're all academic, nothing "cutesy".

Double sided foam tape. It's really thick and lasts. It's a bit expensive though.

Fun tac and packing tape if it is really stubborn. Three of my walls are magnetic, so I use magnetic clips and strips also.

Packing tape and I have to loop it on the back of the poster and get up on a desk with a yard stick to get most of my posters up

This year I have magnetic chalk boards...I am happyChat Icon

I USED to use the hot glue gun, but that has been banned from our building! Chat Icon Now we can only use fun tack. I find the blue one works best, but posters are still falling by December.....

Re: what do you use to hang up posters

i have cement blocks in my room and the clear packing tape works for me. things stay up with that. for heavier things, i have used the double side velcro tape. one piece on the wall and the opposite piece on the poster and viola!

TONS of clear packing tape- though I may try the glue gun this year. I had a hard time hanging my laminated stuff last year.

My co-worker suggested blue painters' tape. I never tried it though.
