Finding the right picture frame at GiftWorksPlus.com is the fun and easy part. Displaying the photo frame on the wall can be a bit more challenging. How does one avoid wall damage or broken items while achieving properly placed and level picture frames? GiftWorksPlus has a few tips for hanging photograph frames.
The first step is to have the right hardware. Buying a picture-hanging kit will usually give you nails, hanging hooks, brackets, and wire. Other tools needed for hanging the photographs include a hammer, drill, level, stud finder, and possibly wall anchors. It is best to nail or screw directly into the wall studs for the greatest strength and stability. However, for lighter pictures, you can use the wall anchors in drywall.
There are two main do-it-yourself ways to determine where to place the fasteners on the wall: paper templates and marking.
To create a template, trace the frame shape onto a piece of paper, cut it out, and tape it to the wall. Level it and mark hole placement, then drill or nail right through the paper.
Alternately, hold the frame to the wall. Have a helper level the frame and then mark corners in pencil on the wall. Measure from the drawn corner to where the bracket should attach or where the fastener should be placed. Mark that position, drill or nail, attach the fastener, and erase the pencil marks.
Once the special picture frames have been attached to the wall, use the level to make final adjustments – then stand back and enjoy! Ready to go? Explore our portfolio of custom designed frames at
