easiest way to hang pictures
hi it's AlaskaGranny do have space that you want to
hang a picture or painting but you are not sure exactly how to
decide where to put it and keep it level I'm show you a quick trick
to how to hang a picture so it will be where you want to be
you need three
simple items to hang your pictures you need some gel
are some kind of colored tooth paste you need picture
hangers make sure to notice the weight
requirement on them to make sure they're strong enough to hold up the picture
you're going to hang
and a common hammer I have a collection of three pictures that I'm going to be hanging
today
and I first laid them out on the floor to see
the arrangement that I wanted and now I have an idea where I want them on the wall
now I'm going to show you the easiest way ever to know where to put your nails
so that you can get them in where you want them I decided
approximately where I wanted the first picture to go
I put a little mark with a pencil
so I can see that it is level and that is where I want it
that doesn't help me know where the nails need to be put in
the hooks aren't level with the top
take your toothpaste
stick these hooks up
take the gel colored toothpaste
put a dab of it right on the tip of the hook or hanger
take your picture
see the hangers are poking up figure out where your marks are
get your picture level
you simply press it against the wall
and the toothpaste leaves a mark
you can see exactly where to put your nail
this is my favorite kind of picture hanger holds up in earthquakes
wind gusts slamming doors and children running through the house
so you get this bracket and then you put a nail
that comes with it right through it and then you hammer that into the wall
and then the hook is secure because it has this
extra it keeps it from falling off
and then it has the hook at the bottom which keeps it hung on there securely
they might sway around but they don't fall off
find your first mark
put your bracket against with a nail sticking out
and then hammer it in and repeat with the next one
now hang your picture
take the little hooks and slide them
over your hanging apparatus
I have two more pictures so I am going to do the same thing
put a dab of toothpaste right on the back
right on the tip of the hook and I'm going to hold it up and press it against the wall
already put a little mark where I want the center of the picture so I am going to hold it
right around there and press it
and I can see the toothpaste where the nail will go
so I'll take my bracket put it
right there now take a nail
slide it into the bracket and hammer it in
wipe off the toothpaste
slip this over the hook and my picture
is right where I wanted it I am going to repeat that with the third picture as well
dab of toothpaste
press it against the wall
hold the bracket
right up to the dot
hammer it in
hook my picture right on to the bracket
I have all three of my paintings exactly where I want them
and they are ready to go in just a few moments
use a dab of toothpaste to help you
secure your picture to the wall make sure you also choose a hanger that holds the
weight of your picture
and fasten it securely so your pictures don't come crashing down
then look I can enjoy my favorite
new pictures helping me to enjoy my home
