Vincent has come up with something smart and creative for his garden! He crafted beautiful printed garden posters and cleverly mounted them without using the usual nylon washers. Instead of wood, which requires a lot of maintenance, Vincent opted for acrylic. By bonding the acrylic and the posters together using adhesive spray, he created a stable backing. Small holes let him neatly hang them. The result is simple yet brilliant!
The project
Vincent has crafted beautiful garden posters and hung them without washers, using acrylic as a sturdy backing for the posters. Vincent: “We had garden posters made. We didn’t want washers in the posters but did want a stable backing. Since wood needs a lot of maintainance, we chose acrylic. We sprayed the acrylic and the back of the poster with adhesive spray and bonded them together. Small holes were then drilled to hang the garden posters. Simple but effective.”

Vincent's tips for others
“Be patient with the adhesive spray. After spraying the two parts, it’s important to let them dry first before pressing them together.”
