How to hang a collage of pictures on the wall.

Anchors are available with hooks to hang pictures and with special hooks to hang mirrors. Then screw the anchor into the wall with a standard screwdriver. Lay each piece on the floor in front of your empty wall leaving at least 2 to 3 inches between each frame on all sides. Tear away the paper template and the nail is ready in perfect position to hang each gallery piece.

Once your template arrangement is final and taped on the wall exactly where they will hang hammer a nail through each template s marked x. Lick your middle knuckle and grab the hanger on the back of the picture with the wet finger. From here you can start arranging your art in a standard composition a loose rectangle diamond or square shape or a freeform grouping allowing your pieces to come together in a more creative way. The toothpaste from the back of your frames will then stick to the wall.

If you re hanging smaller frames try to find narrow walls or hang a collection of pictures in order for your wall to be balanced. Press your knuckle against the wall when the picture is exactly where you want it. Hang your favorite picture in the middle since the eye will naturally be drawn to this one first. Press the picture frames to the wall where you want to hang it.

Hang your photos and wall decor up in place of the paper. Move it around until you get an even space around the pictures. If you have a narrow space that could use some attention hang them vertically there. The saliva will leave a light mark for placing a nail.

Wallboard anchors are large nylon screws that house metal screws. On your wall tape the traced art paper into the arrangement you want using painter s tape rolled up behind it. Drive the pointed end into the drywall with a hammer. Set your laser level so that the laser points towards the toothpaste on your wall in a level line.

Use anchors for heavy pieces and nails for lighter pieces. If the pictures are all of equal size hang them horizontally.
