Is Readers Digest as popular as it used to be?

Creative way to display backcover art from Readers Digest in my home?

  • I just love CF Payne's art that is on the back of the Readers Digest. But the problem we have is that the Readers Digests are piling up in our home. I hate to toss them out though!!! I was wanting to display them in our home. But I am not the creative type when it comes to stuff like that. At first I thought about putting them in small frames but my husband said, "Do you home much it would cost to do that?!" So that is out. lol I thought of just putting up a string across the wall and hanging them up that way around the home. This way we could change them every now and then. How does that sound? Or do you have any suggestions Thanks in advance

  • Answer:

    You could decoupage them directly onto a wall (buy decoupage medium at the craft store) or onto something like a large canvas, foamcore, or wood that you can mount onto the wall. That way if you tire of it, you can change it. I think it would look really cool to do an entire wall like that, like in a bathroom or something that has a smaller wall to cover. You could do a section of wall and paint a frame around them, or put an actual frame around the creation. If you have an IKEA in your area, you can get their cheap little wood frames; they also sell a cable kit with clips in their curtain section. You mount the brackets, string the wire between them, and hang the pics from the clips (this is how we display kids' art work).

Use it a wall paper or use it to decoupage something you would like to decorate.

I love those pictures too! I have my favorite one framed in my room- it is the "cannonball" one. One suggestion I have that is cheaper than framing all of those pictures is to mount them on posterboard or thick cardboard-like paper. If you have colored walls, try mounting them on white. If your walls are already white (or close to it), try a color that complements the room. Lighter colors are great for dark rooms!

Simple, black, small 5x7 frames will be about $1 each at the dollar store. I'm not sure you could do anything any cheaper. I like those, too, but never thought of displaying them.
