Need help w/ creative construction... - 01-14-2008, 08:40 AM


Okay, I've bought this grid wall system for a bridal fair I'm doing this month. 2'x7' walls sections that I'll put together to great a 10' wide wall. Now here's where I'm getting 'creatively challenged' (perhaps from a really long weekend). I'm wanting to create a display on this wall w/ a little depth and deminsion. (Think a 3-D type effect). I want to be able to put images on foam board and then mount them on the grid wall - having the pictures stand out from the wall at a few various lenghts. (make sense??) I know I can get hooks that go on these walls, but then everything would be the same distance - and then the next question is how to get them to mount to the images?

I went to a bridal fair yesterday to get some display ideas and saw something similar - but the guy had built this huge metal frame and had run screwes through the images and then hung onto the frame - I'm thinking their has to be a better, more simplified way.

Anyone have any ideas. I don't care if it looks (as my mom would put it) 'red neck' because I can cover everything from view of onlookers. I'm just needing a way to hang these images with varrying degrees of distance from the wall.

Wendy, what about using some cheap foam core board and cutting it into various widths. turning the foam core so the edge hits the back of the frame, and just making a frame with the foamcore on the back of the foam core? Hope that makes sense?? Foamcore is cheap and easy..allows you to make various widths
