Tips on Hanging Art Without Nails or Hooks

QUESTION
A client of mine wants to hang 12" x 16" art on a wall without making holes in the wall. My client also wants to keep the art work flush with the wall (no leans).


ANSWER
12x16 isn't going to be that heavy. Only two choices as far as I know.

Adhesive: double sided adhesive tape made for keeping pictures aligned. You can
buy it at most hardware stores. It's about 1/8" thick, however, when you go
to remove the picture after time, it may damage the wall and leave some residue
behind. Should not be used on walls that get direct sunlight as, over time, the
adhesive material might become brittle and dry and that wouldn't be too good.

Suspend art from the ceiling using clear plastic cord or thread. Can get this at jewelry making bead companies or also at fabric and craft supply stores.
