Mounting Oil Pained Art Work (without a frame)?

My daughter (and sometimes myself also) likes to paint with oil paints. She buys these 'rigid' canvas and I dont think they would look right framed. (Most of her stuff is pretty abstract)
I would like to know if there is a way I can mount some sort of hook to them to get them on my wall. I'd like to start an art wall. I have one of mine up but it was easier, it is canvas stretched over wood mounting, so i hung it over a large nail. I may consider framing that one later.
Any suggestions for her thin rigid canvas? I have seen these sticky canvas things with a round metal hole at the top and sticky on back, I'd try those but I am not sure they would hold, also I live in a rural area (in Canada) and finding those is next to impossible out here.
Any creative ideas?
 
I think you're talking about canvas board. I use it and it frames just fine. You can get clear polyurethane frames that wouldn't detract from the modern content or very plain metal frames, too. As for the stick-on hangers, they may work, but the canvas panels can be heavy once they get much beyond 8 X 10, so if you choose to use them, I'd measure carefully and use several.
