Using these easy steps will help you hang your picture frames in perfectly straight rows, collages or any other
configuraons you prefer and they will remain level forever.
1. Start by thinking in terms of building rows. For instance, if you want to hang two or more picture frames in a straight row and a
of them are the same sie, you will need to determine a line, which will represent the bo!om of the frames when hanging them
on the wall , as shown in figure 1.
". #o establish a line, you can do this di$erent ways. %n ideal way is to use a laser level, available at your local home improvemen
or hardware store. &t will shoot a perfectly straight level line across the wall where you want to hang your picture frames. #hen
simply align the bo!om of each picture frame with the line and hang, starng with the picture frame farthest away from the
laser level and work in the direcon toward the laser level. &f you're hanging frames that won't e(ceed a width of )', you can
also use a )' long level. *ne person can posion and hold the level against the wall while the other person posions the frames
on the level and make indentaons in the wall. #hen follow the hanging instrucons. +ust that simple. See figure 1.
. &n figure ", you'll establish " lines. &n this arrangement, you start by establishing the bo!om line, posion all frames on thi
line and hang them. #o establish the top line, posion one of the top outside frames against the wall in the correct posion and
put a small piece of masking tape on the wall ne(t to the bo!om of the frame. -ou can now use it as a guide in establishing the
top line using your laser level. ang other frames accordingly.
). &n figure , you'll need to establish lines. &n this arrangement, it doesn't ma!er which line you start with.
/. &n figure ), you'll establish / lines. &n this arrangement, you would most likely want to start by hanging the largest frame first
followed by the ) frames across the bo!om and then work your way upward. -ou can use this simple method for hanging any
configuraon you want. 0hen hanging mulple frames in a configuraon, you may want to lay them out on a at surface prio
to hanging them so you can determine the spacing you'll want between them.
Some ps that may be helpful are to make sure you don't hang frames to close together. 2ore space is be!er and it will make your
arrangement have a more professional look. -ou can also use wood blocks, available at your local lumberyard, using them as spacer
between the frames to assist in posioning them the correct distance apart versus measuring each one. #he wood blocks will be
uniform each me. 3y laying your frames out on a at surface and arranged the way you'll want them hung on the wall, helps you
determine the number of lines you will be using and what the first frame you'll need to hang and progress from there. 0hen you laall of your picture frames out on a at surface, you can measure the amount of space you will want to put between all of them
Simply calculate the amount of space you will need both vercally and horiontally and write it down the use as a reference.
