Abstract: A framing system comprising at least two transverse bars made of magnetically attractive, where each transverse bar has two ends, and each end each transvers bar connects by friction alone with a hole in a side rail. The side rails may be flexible or rigid. At least one magnet secures a framed item to at least one ferromagnetic bar by sandwiching the framed item between the magnet and the magnetically-attractive ferromagnetic bar. In preferred embodiments, two magnets secure the top of the framed item to a top ferromagnetic bar and two magnets secure the bottom of the framed item to the bottom ferromagnetic bar.
