punch a hole at the top of whatever it is and hang it from the poles that would be under the schach, thats what we do.

Yup that’s what I do . Anything that would need to be on the wall I punch hole in signs or kids decorations and put in a string over the poles. But most of the decorations I hang from the ceiling all the chains and colorful things from the schach or beams. I personally don’t like using safety pins bec it makes holes in the material.

We also use a hole punch for decorations. Along with ribbon matching the canvas and safety pins.

We just learned this past Shabbos that anything that hangs lower than 28cm under the s'chach /poles makes the entire Succah passul.
So check with your LOR before you start hanging your children's decoration's from the poles.

This past year, I tried sticking magnets to the artwork, then putting the matching magnet on the canvas outside the sukkah. Worked beautifully. We used the holes and string from the top as backup.

DH (not a rav, but quite learned) says while there is something about hanging things from the schach, the concern is only if it's blocking the view of the schach -- so you shouldn't hang big things horizontal to the schach (that would make a kind of ceiling.)

Using the poles to hang things perpendicularly against the canvas walls does not seem to be at all an issue.

It might be worth it to recheck what you heard last Shabbos, and confirm with your rav.

We hang everything very high all of the time as we have a few very tall family members, so no problems over here.

That's a great idea!

I have a canvas Sukka made with polls all around. I bought a lot of tinsel & I wrap all polls in coordinating colors. I hang flower balls from the ceiling. It's absolutely beautiful & festive.
