/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey guys, I want to hang a few posters like pic related, but I'm not sure on the best way to secure the posters to the frame itself. I don't want to damage the posters, but I want the fastening to be secure. Also, I'd like to be able to take the frame and poster apart.

1. The method used in pic related is magnets on both the front and back strips of the frame. I'm not sure if this would cause the poster to stretch or otherwise deform at the points of contact with the magnets over time.

2. Another method is simply taping the poster to the frame. I'm not sure if the fastening would hold, nor am I sure on the best way to attach the front/back strips of the frame to each other.

3. The last method I've seen is a solid bottom/top piece with a channel sawed through the center. The poster is secured to the frame with wedges pushed into the slot. Not sure on how to make wedges, nor if it would hold.

To make it, I'm thinking of using four 1 1/2" X 1/2" strips if doing method 1 or 2. And two 1 1/2" X 1" if doing method 3.

I'm thinking of a dark walnut stain on pine or perhaps using actual walnut. Not sure if there is a large price difference between the two types of wood, but it doesn't seem to be very much material, so I'm expecting to spend around $30 or so for the first frame.

This will be my first ever project, and I want it to turn out well. Anyways, I'd appreciate any comments on whether I'm realistic in my expectations, and what method you think would be best. Thanks for reading.
