How to hang pictures on the wall without damaging.

Cover your wall in cork board using double sided tape or adhesive strips to stick it to the wall. Art pictures accessories décor items and wall coverings all go a long way in stylizing and personalizing blank and boring walls. If the item you want to mount on the wall is very light such as a small poster or something you have cut from a magazine then regular packing masking or double sided tape can do the trick. Designed for hanging heavy pictures and mirrors these large picture hanging strips can hold up to 16lbs per pack.

This way you ll be able to see it. Rub the pads for 30 seconds and then wait one hour to allow the adhesive to bond with the wall and the picture frame. With your fingers press the strips against the wall for 30 seconds. Then press the picture against the wall.

Adhesives are one way to hang pictures without nails. One set of strips will hold one 8 10 inch frame or three pounds. Attach one half of each set to your picture frame and the other half to the wall and press down firmly. These come in setswhere one side attaches to the picture frame and the other side sticks to the wall.

Slowly separate the strips on the picture from those on the wall by gently pulling on the bottom corners of the picture and lifting. This is also a good idea for a home office or a wall by a desk. Remove the paper liner from the back of the adhesive and press firmly against the wall for 30 seconds. You ll be hanging the artwork on the hook with hardware that s attached to the back so you won t need to remove anything unless it prevents the picture from hanging flat against the wall.

But when you re a renter you might not be allowed to put holes in the walls or don t want to deal with the hassle of filling them before you move out. Make sure the walls are smooth and free of any dirt of dust before using tape to mount your artwork. Pin things like posters photographs and prints to the corkboard using thumbtacks to hang them up without damaging your wall.
