How to Hang Pictures on the Wall

I watched a hilarious clip of Ellen showing “life hacks” the other day. Do you know what life hacks are? In her words, they are “tips or tricks to make your life easier”.

Well, ladies, do I ever have a life hack for you today.

It’s gonna knock your socks off!:)

The idea of this life hack came from something I saw on Pinterest (of course). However, it involved some sort of thin wood that I never had. So, I came up with my own version.

For those of you who are terrified to hang a picture on the wall for fear of putting a hole in the wrong place, this is for you!

How to Hang Pictures on the Wall

{the easiest way EVER!}

Supplies Needed

• a picture with a saw-tooth hanger;
• a thumbtack
• a strip of thick paper like cardstock or cereal box cardboard
• a small nail
• a hammer

1. Insert the thumbtack near the end of the strip of thick paper.

2.Slip the paper under the saw-tooth hanger.

3.Position the thumbtack in the center of the saw-tooth hanger.

4. Holding the paper strip firmly around the front, position the picture where you’d like it to hang on the wall.

5. Once in position, push the picture firmly against the wall.

The thumbtack will leave a tiny hole to mark exactly where the nail should go!

7. Hammer the nail into the hole left by the thumbtack.

8. Hang the picture on the nail.

9. Stand back and congratulate yourself. You did it!:)
