How to hang unframed pictures on wall.

Who needs a frame when you can put your pictures up like this. Arrange pictures on a wall before putting hammer to nail. Lay everything out on a table or on the floor. A completely unconventional and interesting way to hang photos on your wall is with binder clips.

Professionals usually hang wall art so it s at an average. Once you ve chosen the mounts that go on the back of the artwork install the proper hangers on the wall. Hammer a nail into the wall or pin a tack to hang the canvas evenly. Tie a piece of yarn string or rope to the top dowel on either end so you can hang it on the wall.

Clean the surface of your wall with a 1 1 solution of water and rubbing alcohol. Mount your print on a sheet of foam core which gives your print structure but is still lightweight enough to easily hang. Just nail up some binder clips on your wall then clip your photos in and you re good to go. To plan a wall arrangement experiment with grouping the unframed photos on a piece of butcher paper and marking the desired placement.

Mark the hanging points from the back of the art onto the kraft paper. Use hot glue to attach the top and bottom side of the canvas to dowels. Attach a dowel to the canvas to hang it on the wall using rope or thread. If that position doesn t work add a molly or toggle bolt to the wall.

Lay the pieces out on a large piece of kraft paper or wrapping paper and then trace around each piece. Molly bolts work better than toggle bolts because you can remove the screw as many times as needed without having to reinstall. Apply the mastic to the back of the mirror and stick it onto your wall. Secure it in place on the wall with four l shaped hooks also called square bend hooks on each corner.

This idea especially looks great as a gallery wall. Start by marking the area where you plan to hang the mirror with a pencil apply a thin layer of primer so the adhesive will stick. Get an approximate weight of the picture you re trying to hang. For large weighted paintings locate a stud in the wall with a stud finder to secure the hanger directly into the stud with screws or nails.

An easy way to hang an unframed mirror is to use a strong adhesive called mastic.
