The Fine Art Print Shop shares step-by-step instructions on how to hang a painting on the wall. It’s an easy weekend project that adds a focal point to your space and allows you to customize your gallery wall.
It’s also a great way to learn about framing and matting, which you can use later when it comes time to frame your prints from The Fine Art Print Shop!
Supplies:* Paint stir stick or flathead screwdriver* Ruler or tape measure* Stud finder (optional)
Step 1: Locate the studs in your wall using the stud finder. If you don’t have a stud finder, see if you can locate the studs by gently tapping along the walls with your knuckles. When you hit a hard surface (the wall stud), it will make a different sound than the drywall. Once you’ve found the wall studs, mark them with painter’s tape so you’ll know where they are while hanging your print.
Step 2: Use the paint stir stick or flathead screwdriver to measure out exactly where each hook should go along the top of the frame. Drill holes into the wall at these marks with a screwdriver or drill bit just large enough for your hook wire to fit through
Hanging a picture on the wall is one of the simplest, most satisfying ways to spruce up any room, whether you hung it yourself or had someone else do it. It’s also one of the easiest ways to add an instant personal touch to a new apartment or office.
This weekend project comes to us from The Fine Art Print Shop and features step-by-step instructions for hanging a painting that you’ve recently purchased and want to display.
To begin, you will want to find the studs in your wall using a stud finder, which is easy enough to do. But before we get started, let’s take a minute to talk about what not to do next.**
1) Don’t hang your pictures with tacks: Tacks can damage the back of your paintings and leave small holes that are difficult to repair.**
2) Don’t use those little plastic hooks: These types of wall hangers are fine for lightweight frames, but can easily crack a heavier frame or even damage the picture itself if it’s hung too high.**
3) Don’t use nails: Nails leave holes in your artwork and can cause cracking over time as well as drywall damage.**
4) Don’t use tape: Tape is messy
Hanging a painting on the wall can be super frustrating. The Fine Art Print Shop has a simple and easy to follow guide.
Hanging a picture is easy – if you know how. The Fine Art Print Shop has put together the perfect guide to hanging your own art on the wall.
Hanging a picture frame on the wall is easy and can be done by anyone. However, hanging a fine art print can be tricky without the right tools. Making sure that your print looks good is more than just selecting a location in your room and hanging it up. There are many things to consider when hanging a fine art print to ensure that it looks like it belongs there and that it will last for years to come.
The first thing to consider is the weight of your fine art print, as well as how much space there is between your two walls where you will hang it. If there is not enough space or if the weight of your artwork is too heavy, you may want to look into getting a custom frame made for your fine art print from a local frame shop or through an online retailer who specializes in making fine art prints look their best. Once you have purchased or created a custom frame, follow these steps:
1) Remove any tape or staples holding your artwork together.
So, you have just purchased a beautiful fine art print and you are ready to hang it on the wall. How do you go about it? The key is to make sure that the print is mounted to a stretcher frame using the proper method. The stretcher frame is the wooden frame that your print will sit upon.
Each frame is made from wood and has two outer bars that support the entire weight of the painting. The center rod sits inside of these outer bars and holds the canvas taut so it does not bend or warp over time. The center bar has an opening in it for you to be able to insert a wire (or two) at the top and bottom of the stretcher frames. These wires will hold your prints in place against the wall.
Before you begin, there are a few things that you need in order to properly mount your prints. First, you will need a hammer, screwdriver, nails and wire cutters. You may also need some mounting brackets as well if your print weighs more than 25 pounds.*
Attach your wire hangers (or brackets) to the top and bottom of each bar on the outside of your wood stretcher frames. You will want to make sure that they are attached tightly so they don’t move around
Hanging a painting on the wall is not an easy task. And that’s why we love it. It’s a real opportunity to show your creativity and personal sense of style.
Huh, what?! Why do you want to make such a difficult task?
Well, if you think about it – hanging a picture on the wall is not just a way to decorate your interior, but also your individuality.
The problem is that we don’t have much space in our homes. And when we’re decorating it, we often feel like there’s no place for our favorite artwork.
