How to Hang Pictures…The Easy Way!
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a hard time hanging photos and art on my walls. I always pull out my tape measure, my level and my hammer but somehow end up hammering 2 holes where only one should be because my measurements are off! Also, nothing is more frustrating than hanging a collage of photos only to step back and realize that one picture is about 3 inches higher than it should be, throwing off your whole design!
I’ve found a system that is easy and fool proof for tackling both of these tasks!
First, cut some scrap paper to the size of the frame (or frames) and mark the nail location on the paper. Using painter’s tape, move the paper templates around the wall until satisfied. Once you have your frames exactly where you want them, hammer the nails through the marks you’ve drawn on the paper. Finally, remove the tape and paper and hang your artwork! It may take a little longer this way but you’ll be much happier in the long run when your frames are level and beautiful on your wall!
