How do you hang posters or all the kids’ projects on the walls of a canvas (or ease lock style) succah? Looking for ideas.
Thanks!

ETA I don’t like safety pins because it makes holes in the canvas.
I can’t do magnets on both sides of canvas, because the succah is on a high porch and I can’t access the outside of the canvas for other side of magnet!

It was hard when we had that kind of sukkah growing up. We had to tie everything to poles/schach beams.

Not sure if I can explain this clearly
But I get a pretty ribbon or twine and hang.it tightly across the walls of the Sukkah and tie it to each beam
I usually tie 2 about a foot apart
And then I hole punch my decorations and tie on to the ribbon and space them nicely
Kind of like clothes line stlye
It ends up looking very pretty

We use the white wire that the kids use for jump rope. Goes around the whole succah tide tightly around each beam. I do two rows, one higher than the other. Then I attach each picture… with the binder clips. We buy plain silver so it looks prettier.

good question I think I put duck tape under where I tied to create a.bump for it to sit on so.it wouldn't slide

Buy a large roll of pretty matching ribbon. Hang from the beams. Hole punch corners of posters and kid's projects, run satin ribbon through, and hang things from the frame of the sukkah in a pretty fashion.

Hang garlands from beams with zip ties or large twist ties.

If it's real canvas and not the plasticy type, safety pins (but if it's vinyl or shiny fabric, pins will leave holes).

I use the gun with clothing tag things. It pokes a hole through the poster and through the canvas. It hangs a little, and most need a few tags to hold up

We don't hang anything on the walls. We use fishing line to hang things from the schach and the cross bars at the top. We also have hanging fruit on heavy metal wires that can be twisted and hung over the top bars, vines that I twist around the middle bars on the sides of the sukkah, and also vines from Israel that come with mini magnets. They "clip" onto the side bars of the sukkah on each of the 4 sides.

we use heavy double stick tape https://a.co/d/bg2AMtz the 1 inch wide.

we are using it successfully for 2-3 years. it all held up nicely, in fact, we learned to put a smaller piece of tape so it's easier to remove after succos.

it never left any residue, it peels off nicely.

didn't try anything heavy just posters... Oh yeah pearler beads (oishpeezen, kid worked hard for it) it held up.

heavier or bulkier we didn't try.
