How to Hang Artwork

Video Transcript

"My name is William Perkinson and I'm going to tell you how to hang artwork. The number one thing about hanging artwork is, is how to stick it to the wall, so to speak.You can either use a nail, you can use a stick adhesive, you've seen those advertised on TV, they're for more temporary type things such as a holiday decoration or you can use some sort of anchor bolt. But for this picture here and the art work that's in it, we thought it been completely appropriate to just use a nail and find a stud and hang it. It's not gonna, a nail and stud is not going to come out, it's not going to comes lose when general walking and use of the room so it's perfectly acceptable. So, I'll take my stud finder, you can but it in any Big Box store, there's our stud and we're going to put it in this hole which we actually pretty drilled before you got here. Now, the other thing about hanging artwork is you need to know how high to hang it and that's pretty much in the eye of the beholder. We're going to hang it here for a couple of reasons. One is, it fills up the space nicely and get it level. It doesn't interfere with the woodwork below and it has enough room between the bottom of the artwork and the top of the table so that the home owner can accessorize. She can put her lamps and other decorations below it, it doesn't interfere. It's safe, secure, it's ready to go. I'm William Perkinson and that's how to hang artwork."
