How to Hang a Picture on the wall

How to hang a Picture on the wall without all the extra holes. Women and Men you can hang a picture on the wall without all the extra practice holes. Your picture can be level, with only a few tools and tips.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• level
• hammer
• drywall screws if in sheetrock
• sheetrock anchors, if in sheetrock

1. I like to turn the picture over and see where the screw will anchor on. I find where I want to put it on the wall.

2. I make sure it is level and I see where the screw needs to go, I have the picture turned over.

3. I measure from the top of the picture to the screw and then I drop the picture frame lower. I make the spot where the screw will go. Check and make sure with the top of the frame still flipped that the picture is level. Do not Eye Ball it.. Later you will say, I can not believe that is crooked, a fraction of an inch will be noticeable, and will lead to more and more holes. Yes, I too have been there..

4. You can make cardboard copies of the picture frame and put where the hole for the screw needs to go and then try the frame on various areas of the room to see if you like it there, and when you do drill through the hole in the cardboard template.

Tips & Warnings

• Have a partner
• Have your tools ready
• Take your time
• If it is drywall, make sure you anchor it to the stud(wood behind the sheetrock) or use drywall anchors---Ugly big holes are hard to deal with..
• Put the picture eye level, or at least normal people's eye level. I am short, so I use my husband's eye level as a guide. LOL
• Watch your thumbs
• Measure twice and take your time
