I drill a tiny hole on both ends but have seen some put screws on the edges. This works good for a wall but I hang mine on the ceiling because I got tired of peaple asking did you do that, so now all of my art is on the wall and my friends are on the ceiling. It will be wild in the future when I run out of room. I have alot of meeets to go.

I use brass L-hooks for the lettering panel George made me years ago. I have 2 in the wall that the panel sits in and 1 on 1 side, so the panel slides into them. I won't hang them all this way, but that panel is the one I'll be pulling down to look at more than the others.

I use two sided tape or two small trim nails on the bottom for it to rest on and one small at the top to hold it against the wall. Or sit them on a shelf.

Dana, I think a nice frame really makes them look professional and makes hanging easier. I have even seen some matted like fine art. I buy frame stock for the etched mirrors we do so we just cut our own frames on the mitre saw. Frame stock can get expensive, though, but you can make frames out of wood scraps if you have a few tools. Here's last years letterville project I made and sent to Harris Kohen.

I go to a craft store like Michael's or A. C. Moore's and get frames that don't have a border. They just look like a piece of glass. I but them a little larger than the panel, then cover the backer board with vinyl. I pick a color that is in the panel design. I think it makes them stand out that way.
