Surround Yourself with Photos, Artwork & Notes in The Most Creative Way Possible

Forget scotch tape! There are millions of out-of-the-box ideas to showcase photos, artwork and notes on walls (or elsewhere).
I think a great idea to do so would be sustainable - in the sense that it allows you to reuse materials easily, relatively cheap, easy, and would not create much mess.

Here are some ideas -

I shall start with my favorite of all! The Post it Cushion - Check it here

The marker (which comes with the pillow) is a water-soluble fabric marker which means that all you need to do is rinse the case with water, and water only to wash the notes away. And it comes in a variety of colors.




Without A Frame

I really like the look and feel of this! Using black paper clips to hang photos. I wonder though, how do the clips hang? hmmm.

This is why it really annoys me:

On a simple level, I do believe its much cleaner to use water & tissues
On a twisted more complicated political lever, I feel that the City of Life had become more suitable to the Western individual than it is to me - the Arabian
