Take your time to work out the best location and arrangement for your art and study our instruction guide, so you know which tools to get and how to use them to make the process a bit easier and maybe even fun.
Tips and Tricks
Location
The best place to hang artwork is where you'll get maximum enjoyment from it, but out of direct sun and fluorescent lights, which can fade paintings and photos. Instead, consider placing a mirror opposite a window to reflect views and natural light.
Be Careful
Always arrange pictures on a wall before putting hammer to nail.
After deciding on the location for each piece, you can proceed to
- Lay everything out on a table or on the floor.
- Move the pieces around until you have an arrangement that you like.
- Lay the pieces out on a large piece of kraft paper or wrapping paper and then trace around each piece.
- Mark the hanging points from the back of the art onto the kraft paper
- Then, tape the paper to the wall and hammer in the nails.
- Remove the paper, and voila!
