How to hang pictures on wall with horizontal moulding.

First set out the pictures you want to hang. Have someone hold a piece up to the wall while you stand back and appraise just cover the hanging hardware with masking tape first to keep it from scratching the wall. Divide it by two and then measure out from one side of the wall to this distance marking it with a pencil. Clean the surface of your wall with a 1 1 solution of water and rubbing alcohol.

Remove the back liner from the adhesive strip and apply it directly to the wall where you want to hang your picture. Look at every reasonable possibility. Place a hook on the rail or molding directly above the center mark. Measure the width of the wall from one end to the other and write this measurement down.

Hold the picture against the wall at the height you want it to hang. Lay the picture frame face down on a table and place a strip of painters tape or masking tape across the frame just above the eyelet screws. Mark the spot on the wall above the center of the frame. Remove the front liner from the strip and firmly press the utility hook against the surface.

Recruit a helper to hold the picture on the wall while you evaluate its placement using the following guidelines. Leave at least a 3 to 6 gap between the top of a sofa and the bottom of the picture frame and 4 to 8 inches from a table top. The center of the picture should be at eye level approximately 60 from the floor.
