I have a bunch of posters that are colored with markers on my door. I have been noticing lately that the colors have been fading.
Is there any way to stop this?
Any way to prevent it from happening?
You pretty much have to keep your posters or any artwork from having sunlight shining on them. Even if you have the posters framed and behind glass, hanging them in sunlight will cause damage to them. Better to hang something on your door that you don’t care so much about so that when it fades, you will replace it with something else and not be heartbroken over the damage to the first item. Why not make something like a fabric wall hanging to hang on the back of your door? It will fade, but if you make it out of very bright vibrant colors, you will be less likely to notice the fading for some time. While you have the fabric, make two wall hangings so you’re ready to replace the first one when necessary or you can alternate and hang one wall piece for a week and switch to the second and then just alternate back and forth. In the meanwhile, you could be making other wall pieces to add to the rotation. Eventually you’ll have enough wall hangings that the rotation will keep them in fairly good condition and if your friends see these, they just might ask you to make one for them and then you can start up a little business.
Spray them with cheap hairspray.
