Tie a string from one pole to another, then hang pictures on them with laundry pegs. (bonus points if you spray paint the laundry pegs gold/silver (or any other color) first)

Use a tagging gun (like for clothing) with the shortest plastic pieces.
After Yom Tov, just take a scissors and snip off.

Hot glue gun! We used to have a canvas sukka and this is what worked. You need to use a lot!

If your canvas has a plasticy finish/is water resistant as is not the old fashioned canvas, it WILL leave holes.

We buy a big roll of pretty ribbon (thin) and hang things from the upper beams. Two hole punches on either end of laminated projects, ribbon tied to each end and middle hanging from ceiling beam.
We also decorate the ceiling beams all around the inner perimeter of the sukkah with garlands, as well as a garland hanging down vertically in each corner.

But what if my poster- it’s really a 9x13 sized picture - I have a bunch of them. I laminated them myself. They are Jewish artwork I had from a Jewish calender. So one side of the picture is a random e side from a calender. I don’t want it shown. That’s y I don’t think hanging will look good

You could hang them in pairs, back to back.

We have a tarp sukkah so can't use anything that will make a hole. I string twine around the perimeter near the schach and midway down around the sukkah and use clothespins to secure.

If the poster is oddly shaped I'll use clothespins on top and duct tape (a fancy pattern) on the bottom. I find the duct tape doesn't work great for supporting an entire poster but works to secure the bottom in conjuction with the clothespins. I'll also use zip tie chains as needed for other artwork, especially if there are holes for hanging.

It's hanging against the wall. If you're afraid.it will flip to the back, you can add more hole punches to the bottom and affix ribbon on bottom to middle beam as well.

The hot glue doesn't damage the canvas?

I also find using hot glue guns very messy

We've been using the little circle magnets they sell in sukkah shops for years. Its the simplest option
