This can also be done with painter&#8217;s tape. Also note the center of the artwork. Use a ladder to mark the spot if needed. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOTE: Avoid hanging art or photography too high. Eye-level is usually best.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Measure for Hardware<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-101377 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/c109f92c63a31be643da2657546a764c.jpg\" alt=\"How To Hang Picture - Measure hardware\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the back side of the artwork, measure the distance between the top edge of the frame and the hanging hardware.

With a hammer, tap in your hardware. These hangers come in different sizes with a variety of weight ratings, up to 100 lbs. \u00a0Always check that you have the right type of hanger for your particular wall type and opt for a higher weight rating than you think you need for an extra level of safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Step 4: Add Artwork<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the hanger is installed, place your artwork carefully being sure it is appropriately centered on the hanger. You may also want to use a level to check whether it is hanging straight. If not, you may need to adjust the piece to the left or right to bring it into balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.homedepot.com\/hang-large-artwork\/\">How To
