This hardware will make your picture more sturdy, and it will be much easier to hang this way.
You can also knock on the wall to find a stud. If you knock and it sounds hollow, there’s no stud there. If it sounds firm or dull, you’ve found a stud. If you can’t find a stud, drill an anchor into your wall before you hang up your picture. You can find wall anchors at most hardware stores.
If you’re hanging multiple pictures on the wall, try arranging them in a collage so they are randomly spaced out. Take into account what’s around your picture, like furniture and light fixtures. Make sure that it isn’t being blocked by anything else in the room.
If you’re worried about making a mark on your wall, use a piece of painter’s tape instead.
This measurement will help your picture hang at exactly eye level instead of a little bit above it. If your picture has a crossbar instead of a hanging wire, measure the distance from the crossbar to the top of the picture.
You can also find plated nails that have a small disk at the front to stop them from going too far into the wall.
Picture hooks can grab onto crossbars or hanging wire, so you don’t have to worry about what’s on the back of your picture. If you are drilling into concrete or brick, use a masonry bit on your drill and push an anchor into your wall before you add a screw.
Try not to catch any part of the frame on the hardware, or you could scratch it.
You can find levels at most hardware stores, or you can download one on your smartphone.
A clean surface will adhere to your hanging tool much better.
Working with one side at a time will give you more control over where your picture goes.
Most adhesive strips can hold up about 15 pounds (6. 8 kg). If your picture frame is much heavier than that, you may want to choose a different method for hanging.
You won’t be able to adjust the picture after you push it onto the wall, so make sure it’s perfectly aligned. To take your picture off the wall, pull the frame up and off the back of the adhesive strips. Then, pull the adhesive strips down and away from the wall to take them off.
