How to hang things on the wall without nails.

Adhesives are one way to hang pictures without nails. This will allow the picture to be flush with the wall once you place adhesive strips on the back of it. Adhesive strips attach to the back of the frame and can hold anywhere from three pounds up to 16 pounds. They stay together by the velcro in the middle.

If you don t want to place any adhesives on your picture you can use adhesive hooks on your walls instead. One set of strips will hold one 8 10 inch frame or three pounds. Pin things like posters photographs and prints to the corkboard using thumbtacks to hang them up without damaging your wall. The best part about using adhesive strips to hang wall art is that you can remove them from smooth wall surfaces without damaging the wall.

To hang pictures without nails remove any protruding hardware from the picture frame first. Slip or thread the hanger onto the shaft of the bolt and screw the bolt. Metal toggle bolts have a spring loaded set of wings affixed to a small nut that threads onto a bolt that holds the hanger. Install a toggle bolt into the wall when you want to hang a heavyweight object such as a large mirror.

Hang wall art with adhesive strips instead of nails. This is also a good idea for a home office or a wall by a desk. Cover your wall in cork board using double sided tape or adhesive strips to stick it to the wall.
