Hanging It Up - Artwork, That Is!

| To make this effort more inspirational, I cutesied up a horribly scruffy step ladder with spray paint, then purchased four new pretty white feet. |
 |
| A small tack hammer works great. Not too heavy. |
 |
| Seriously and maybe crazily, but I use push pins to hang most of my art – two for each picture. Holds them nice and steady. But for big heavy paintings I really like these wall grip style hangers |
 |
| measure twice, make hole once! |
 |
| Yep, I mostly use clear push pins to hang my art. |
 |
| Spackle all those extra holes as you go, you won’t regret it. |
 |
| The real “secret” here is these two products. Especially if you are going to hang a grouping, then this is essential. Tear off a wee little piece of this poster putty and knead it to get it warm (important) and then when a painting is absolutely level (“dead nuts”) then adhere the putty to the back of the frame – i usually place it bottom center of the frame |
There you have it. Everything I’ve learned by toil and trouble, or is that, trial and error?? LOL.
And now for some of my wall art reveals:
 |
| Watch out for glare when hanging art opposite windows. I might replace the glass eventually with 1/8″ plexi. It’s supposed to be non-glare. |
