How to Hang a Small Picture

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Bobby Hester on behalf of Expert Village. In this series, we're going to show you how to hang big pictures, small pictures, and every size in between. We're going to show you how to use hangers and we're going to show you how to quickly and easily hang a picture just like a professional. There's many different ways to hang a picture on a wall. There's large picture, small pictures. In this clip, we're going to tell you how to do it just plain and simple. If you have a smaller picture, you don't necessarily have to worry about all the hangers, measurements, and all those things. We're just going to try to keep it simple in this clip. First thing you need to do if you're going to use a hammer is that you need a good pair of safety glasses. For this picture we’re going to hang, we're just going to use a small nail. This picture that we have is very tiny. It can be a real tiny nail. This wall is kind of empty, so we're not really trying to line it with anything else. It's the only thing on the wall right now. We're not going to worry about measuring. We're just going to hold it up there and see what looks good. Just kind of get back and look at it. If that's where you want it, put your finger up there, take your nail, and drive it in to the wall. You want to kind of do it an angle, about a 40-45 degree angle. Leave it sticking out just a little bit. There's your picture. You put it on the wall, and there you have it."
