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!:)

Love it! Pinned it too 🙂

Awsome tip thanks
I live in an old home built in 1939. Sometimes even with a tape measure things don’t always look strait on the wall. This is the best idea I have ever seen!
Awesome, awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
I have a bunch of pictures that I am going to make a picture wall with and this tip will make it so much easier. Now I just have to figure out how to place them on the wall so that it doesn’t look like a jumbled mess. I think you have a post on how to do that as well , if I remember correctly.
Thanks for the helpful tips.
