need to hang a few pictures follow these
tips to decorate the walls in your home
first decide the placement the key is to
hang the center of the picture at eye
level which is about 57 inches for a
group hang the center of the grouping at
57 inches with groupings the largest
frame is usually best in the center or
at the center bottom another idea is to
hang the frames in a row or in a column
on a narrow wall if you want to check
the placement cut out the frame sizes on
paper and tape them to the wall use a
level and make any adjustments as needed
when you're happy with the placement
mark the top centers of the frames on
the wall the hardware you use depends on
the weight of the picture and the type
of wall which could be drywall plaster
concrete or masonry not sure if you have
drywall or plaster push a pin in the
wall if it goes in its drywall for heavy
pictures if you can secure hangers to
stud that's not necessary for smaller
pictures a small plated nail hanger will
do measure from the top of the frame to
the hardware on the back of the picture
transfer to the wall and tap in with a
hammer
in old homes with plaster drill a pilot
hole using tape to keep the wall from
cracking heavier pieces will require
more support specialty hooks are
available that don't require tools or
studs this picture hook pushes right
into drywall and curves up against the
back of the wall to create a strong
support
another option is an anchor screw that
acts as a drywall anchor both of these
options work with many types of frame
hardware to hang a picture with two
d-rings measure from the top of the
frame to the ring transfer that to the
wall then stick a piece of tape on a
long level and mark the center and the
ring locations hold the level at your
center mark on the wall and transfer the
ring locations hold the hook on the mark
and Mark the screw hole if they're not
inline with studs use a screw anchor and
hook then just simply hang the picture
for wire on frames pull it taut with a
tape measure and note the distance to
the top of the frame transfer this
measurement to the wall to position the
hanger if the frame leans forward a
little use felt pads on the bottom to
even it out if you have a lighter frame
without Hardware a sawtooth bar works
great to attach it Center it on the
frame and tap in the nails if you have a
larger picture with two bars along the
top of the frame it's good to reinforce
the corners with brackets
if you want an easy to remove option
consider an adjustable system like
removable adhesive pads to attach feel
the backing off the strips and stick
them to the frame clean the wall then
peel the other backing off the strips
and press the picture against the wall
follow the instructions for adhesion
time to adjust pull the frame off to
separate the strips and reattach to
remove just hold the strip's and pull
down no marks or holes and with that
your house can be your own personal art
