Display your Gackt posters without putting pins in them!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

I recently purchased a giant bus-stop sized poster of the Japanese film GOHATTO from the Cannes Film Festival, and was both happy and dismayed at the size - it covers most of a wall - now I could get it framed, which would be hundreds of dollars just for the size, not to mention it would be very heavy - but a solution is at hand!

You will need-
clear sheets of vinyl (medium weight)
clear filament or white thread
a sewing machine
metal grommets (4 for smaller poster size 6 for large)
paper clips

(If you do not have a sewing machine, you can try this using vinyl glue, but tell me how that works out for you)

If you go to a fabric or a craft store that sells fabric (like JoAnnes) you can purchase sheets of clear vinyl in varying thicknesses, (I went for a medium weight to help keep the poster flat.) these come about four to five feet wide, and you can get them as long as you want.

Pick a standard poster size, allowing 1/2 inch wider and longer than the poster and then 1/2 inch extra around the sides and bottom for the seams, add two inches at the top to allow for grommets.
