How to hang a clip frame on the wall.

Mark this middle point faintly on either side of the picture frame rear. It should be roughly half an inch below the intended top of the picture and centered. A two nail hanger can hold up to 50 pounds. A simple saw toothed clip nailed to the back of the wood frame over which the canvas is stretched allows you to hang small paintings on a special hanger.

If you give a hook a small tap with a hammer then it bites into the wood enough that you can usually screw it in by hand without drilling a guide hole first. Find the width of the entire picture frame. Place a scrap piece of wood that is approximately half as long as the mirror is wide underneath the hanging wire on back of the frame. The weight of the art you plan to hang determines the hangers used and the method of hanging it.

If you want to hang a frameless mirror on your wall you ll need to use mirror clips or a special adhesive. Connect the marks with a ruler or other straight edge and lightly draw a line. To use clips put the mirror where you want to hang it and use a pencil to mark the top and bottom corners. But although it may seem easy hanging a picture properly is much more than a haphazard task.

Hold the mirror against the wall at the desired position. Put a nail in the wall in the place you have selected. Wrap the wire ends at the top of the opening along the top edge of the clip. Another way you can hang.

Set the mirror down. Place 2 clips on the bottom 1 on each side and 1 on top for most mirrors though a large mirror may need more. I ve got frames hanging in this manner that have been up for a couple of years. To start hold the mirror in the spot you want it then trace around the top and bottom edges with a pencil.

Mark the location of the top edge and the center of the frame. Like i mentioned before these windows are relatively lightweight and i usually hang them flush against a wall so i use the hooks and eyes with picture hanging wire to hang them.
