We've managed to get some frames to stay up with those 3M wall sticker things, but they don't really work for very heavy frames. We have a large blank wall that needed some sprucing up, but knowing we couldn't put up a large frame posed a problem.
After some Internet searching (there's loads of ideas for renter decorating), hubby and I decided to try a fabric wall hanging. We bought a cheapie canvas from AC Moore that was 50% off and some home dec fabric from Ikea. The fabric from Ikea can be a little pricey, but we didn't need much and we both liked the funkiness of it.
I wish I'd remembered to get more "how to" shots, but we finished these really quickly. We cut the fabric out to be a few inches larger than the canvas, stretched it tight over the canvas, and used a regular old stapler to attach it. No staple gun needed, which is great since I don't have one. I had my hot glue gun ready just in case.
Oooh psychedelic!
We liked it so much, we put another one in the bedroom.
Now I just have to get curtains up in there...and decorate my craft space...and my corkboard and and....it never ends!

I like it! You sure have been crafty lately! I guess that happens when you move :)
Great job. I like. Quick and rather inexpensive. Thumbs up...
It looks great! I can't believe you can't use nails.
Wonderful! Well done!
Very cool!!! My mom made me a button board (I used to collect buttons when I was Pi's age...) to pin them on just like that.
I don't do IKEA though. I have problems with their background.
Wow, you're really on a roll with the crafty projects! That's a very clever idea for a wall hanging!
