This is the right way to hang a picture and its really eazy

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pencil, hammer, Fram hanging hooks, and a ruler.
  1. Step 1

    First things first, you need a few "tools" to start. Pencil, hammer, hooks to hang art on, and a ruler.
    Decide where you want to hang the art, and then position it against the wall right in that marked spot. while holding it in place make a small mark on the wall on top of the middle of the frame.

  2. Step 2

    Ok now take down the picture and turn it over. In the middle of the art frame there will be a hanging wire, across the back of the frame. (if your frame doesn't have one, attach a frame wire across the middle of the frame). Pull the wire towards you tightly, using a ruler measure the distance from the highest part of the wire to the top of the frame.

  3. Step 3

    Find the pencil mark you made and measure that same distance straight below the penciled mark. There, make a second mark. Hammer the hook into the wall so the hook hangs at the spot. Erase the first mark you made and slide the artwork down over the hook.
