That is a gorgeous photo, and that’s a nice lightweight frame! That means that there are a few fixes you can try at home:
You could pop in a few staples across that joint. If you’re using light-weight staples, like the ones for papers, they’ll likely stretch pretty quickly.
A high-temp hot glue gun, some epoxy, or super glue would likely work.
If you like hanging light-weight things, a picture hanging kit might be helpful. If you don’t want to even go that far, some fishing line and low-profile thumb tracks could work and save you money over the years. You’ll need to tie a loop in each end of the fishing line, so consider looking into a fishing loop tool if you have any dexterity issues.
Command strips will hold that shit up, and take the paint from your walls when it comes down.
If you’re concerned about damaging your walls, use a ridiculous amount of hot glue. I’m absolutely serious. It seems like a relatively permanent solution, especially when it’s time to take everything down, but rubbing alcohol cleans up hot glue really nicely.
Of course, getting new frames from thrift shops is always a decent solution. Or, if you feel like it’s worth the cost, consider printing it on canvas or metal. Lots of local print shops will do this in-house now.
Some of my works I’ve put on canvas ended up being a bit washed out and deprived of a whole bunch of little intricate details, I’m more of a gloss-and-frame kinda lady.
Eventually I’m gonna have to get it reframed right, cause I plan to get the whole project in an exhibition at some point in the future.
(And there’s me, briefly fantasizing about seeing, on the door of a gallery somewhere, ‘Matsuri Machi,’ by Tanis Nikana. A girl can dream.)
