momof2 asked:


We have made our porch into a room. Leaving the vinyl siding (for now) on the wall. I want to hang a big poster on it to cover the siding. What will stick. It is not a framed poster. I just want to tape it on (so to speak).

      Check your local hardware store, like Menard’s or Home Depot. They should be able to recommend a double sided tape that has a strong adhesive. My husband has found one that work GREAT even in Wisconsin’s frigid temps.

      I am guessing that this is not a framed poster, just a big sheet of paper. I’d go with something you already have — duct tape. It’ll certainly hold up paper until you re-do the wall. Just take pieces about 5″ long, and make loops with the sticky side out. Press to the paper on the corners, maybe an extra on top center, press to the wall. May leave residue if left on a long time, removable with acetone or nail polish remover.
