Yesterday I shared my newly updated two toned mirror with silver leaf detail and today Im sharing the 411 on how I hung it on the wall. Ive been using this tip for years (well maybe not that long, but its been a while), yet never shared it forgive me please. This easy-peasy -picture-hanging-tip will knock your socks off make your life so much easier, plus youll get to ditch the typical results (and headaches) of having too many holes in the wall.
Are you ready??
1. Lay the picture / mirror face down on its front. Using painters tape (its better than masking tape because its not too sticky), cut a piece long enough and align each end so its centered on the hooks.
2. Then lift the piece of tape off of the picture and position it on the wall at the desired height. Then to make sure the picture / mirror is hung straight, place a level on the tape, so you know your screw positioning is just right.
Perfecto!
3. If youre not screwing into a stud (which seems impossible for me 99% of the time), an anchor (or other picture screw/nail) is a must unless you want a broken picture on the floor within 5 minutes anchors always give a secure base for screws.
Once both screws are in, the picture, mirror, or wall decor is ready to hang!
And this is what I hung on the wall
This tip can be used for anything you need to hang a picture, mirror, wall decor, a shelf, hmmm what else??
