I told you this was the easiest way to hang pictures with two hooks!! Seriously, I use this method all the time. Now there are gadgets and things that you can use to hang pictures, but I still go back to this method because it works and it is fast. My husband loves using the picture hanging tool but I have found that the indentations it makes aren’t the easiest to see and I can never get things straight. Maybe it is because I am more of a visual person and need to see the full length of the picture before I hang it up!
But any way you hang, I just want you to feel like you can do things, like hang a picture on the wall!
This is a good start…but you need to check that the hooks are equidistant from the sides since you flip the tape.
Good point. I didn’t flip the tape because I stuck it to the frame them stuck it to the wall. That’s the easiest way to ensure that the hooks are at the correct spot!
Thank you so much for making this so simple for me. I was always measuring from one prong to the other and then using a level. Most of the time it did not come out even!!
Now this is a process that I can understand and doesn’t involve an engineering degree. Love it!
So true, right?!?!
Thanks for this post. It helped me get a large frame with family photos on the wall in no time.
So happy to hear!!!
You put the tape under the hooks, so how do you get the holes in the tape?
I poke a hole in the tape with a nail.
