The Best Way to hang a picture frame
Hey there! Hanging a picture frame isn't as hard as it seems. Here's what you'll need:
- Hammer
- Picture hanger or nail
- Pencil
- Level (you can download a free level app on your phone!)
- Measuring tape
Here's how to do it in 5 easy steps:
- Find the spot where you want your picture. Mark it lightly with a pencil.
- Measure the height from the floor (most pictures look best at eye level, about 57-60 inches from the floor).
- Look at the back of your frame. If it has a wire, pull the wire up tight and measure from the top of the frame to the wire - this tells you how far down to put your nail.
- Put your nail or picture hanger in the wall. If you're hanging something heavy (over 20 pounds), make sure to use a wall stud or wall anchor!
- Hang your picture and use your level to make sure it's straight.
