DIY Poster Frame Tutorial
Sand the edges of your wood trim.

Drill holes two inches in from the ends.

Punch corresponding holes in your poster and thread the string through, sandwiching the poster between the wood at both ends. You could add a line of glue to secure it, but it’s not necessary.

I like the untreated wood, but you could stain or paint it too.
