How to Hang Objects on Drywall

Want to hang your picture of the trophy-size fish you caught in the perfect spot - but can't find a stud to nail it to? Use drywall anchors and screws and hang pictures anywhere.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 
    

   Push a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the opening of a plastic anchor piece.

2. 
    

   Turn the screwdriver clockwise as you press into the drywall. Anchor should be flush with wall.

3. 
    

   Insert screw provided with anchor into the hanging hook provided.

4. Screw into place with the Phillips screwdriver.

on 11/8/2009 You should also check out http://www.wallclaw.com; it's the most innovative drywall hanger I've seen in years (I learned of it when I met the owner on a plane the other day; really cool!)

on 4/12/2008 PowerHooks, invented by artist George P. Mullen, patented and made in the USA, will hold up to 121 lbs. in 1/2-inch drywall anywhere on a wall; up to 150 lbs. in commercial 5/8-inch drywall (where there is a stud, use a nail). See www.powerhook.com.
