STEP 1

Use a stud finder

Be sure to use a stud finder if you are hanging a heavier photo or mirror.

STEP 2

Locate wall centre

Locating the wall’s center is the first step. Measure the width, then determine the height you’d like the photo.

STEP 3

Mark with pencil

Once you have the spot, you can mark the top of your frame near the center mark with a pencil. Then, mark the spot on the wall.

STEP 3

Hammer nail on slight angle

Holding the nail on the spot, hammer in on a slight angle. Hang the frame on the nail.

STEP 5

Hang photo, check level

Now that your photo is hung, use a level to ensure your photo is straight.
