Straightforward Hack to Cling Artwork Completely Straight | Thrifty Decor Chick

Cling artwork simply with this painter’s tape hack!

When you’ve ever struggled hanging artwork or mirrors with a couple of hook on the again, this beneficial little trick is for you! 

We have all been there — if you do not get the holes drilled completely within the wall, every part is wonky. 

That is particularly useful on bigger objects which have a protracted expanse between the hooks, longer than a typical 24 inch stage. 

It is also good whenever you’re attempting to hold heavy objects like mirrors. Lifting it time and again to seek out that your holes aren’t completely spaced is a significant ache:

It will even be GREAT for a gallery wall whenever you’re utilizing the identical sort of body time and again. The hooks ought to be the identical distance on every body. 😉

This put up could comprise affiliate hyperlinks in your comfort.

They’re the Stockholm mirrors and are so fairly! I nonetheless hope to make use of certainly one of these once more in our present house! 

They’re fairly giant so the holes on the again have been far aside. You should use a stage, however most are 24 inches or shorter. Despite the fact that we have now a 4 foot stage, I discovered this trick to be far more exact than measuring and attempting to switch that measurement onto the wall. 

As a result of I used to be drilling into tile I wished this to be as precise as doable. This little hack is fairly straightforward. 

You may have to seize some painter’s tape (or any masking tape) and place it throughout the holes on the again of your artwork or mirror:

You can too mark it with a pen for a actually exact measurement.

Subsequent, peel off your tape and place it the place you need on the wall. You may nonetheless want a level for this half, however the good factor is sort of any stage will work. You do not want a brilliant lengthy one to examine how stage your tape is.  

Maintain it towards the tape to examine. Modify the tape accordingly:

Then you definately simply drill, utilizing your marks as a information! 

When you’re drilling proper into drywall or wooden, you will simply want a screw or nail for lighter artwork, or anchors for heavier objects. These screw in anchors save a ton of time!
