making picture hangable?

[Kaitlyn]

I have a 16x20 canvas print but it didn't come with any way to hang it. My first thought was string and staple it down on each edge but I don't have a staple gun - or even a regular stapler right now. What's the cheapest/easiest way that I can make this mountable?

Why not have the canvas stretched? That way you have more options to hang it, and it looks better

I have numerous like these around the house, and they just hang on small nails pressed into the wall

It is stretched - but I don't know what to after that!

I have some screw eye hooks which I thought about using but concerned about putting them into the wood and it splitting or damaging the canvas. It's a thin frame, therefore hard to get leverage to twist it in without rubbing/pushing canvas..

Oh - I tried using pliers to hold the screw... extend it out and bit and better leverage. Got it! :)

Picture is now hanging on my wall :)

All that effort when you could have used duct tape! :razz:
