Anyone else always dropping screws between the canvas & frame? 😩 🖼️ Here’s your ultimate guide to the hanging hardware u should use to ensure your artwork is ready to hang! The picture hanging section of the local hardware store often has a dizzying array of options so I wanted to simplify things! ☁️ LIGHT FRAMES or FLAT PANELS (under 25 lbs) Sawtooth hangers (aka. a small metal bracket with serrated edge) attached to the centre of the back of the art & hung on a small hanging nail in the wall. Some galleries don’t accept this hardware. 🤸♀️ LIGHT CANVASES or CRADLED PANELS (under 25 lbs) Eye Screws & picture wire. Choose the right size based on the weight of the painting. Put them 1/3 of the way down from the top on the inside of the cradle/frame. (They shouldn’t point outwards to wards the wall). U can stick rubber bumpers to the bottom two corners to protect the wall. Some galleries prefer you use D rings. 💪 MOST PAINTINGS (under 50 lbs) D rings with picture wire (or directly on nails) are the best for hanging most paintings they’re easily attached with screws. Get the appropriate size for your painting. You can also put a dust cover - a paper covering on the back of a painting. 🏋️♀️ EXTREMELY LARGE PAINTINGS (50-400 lbs) Keyhole hangers are great for hanging heavy art & are attached with wood screws. Hang directly on nails or screws that are preferably connected to a stud in the wall. Pre-drill the holes & tighten the screws with either a screwdriver, electric drill, or cordless screwdriver. 🤘 LARGE GALLERY PAINTINGS (50-400 lbs) French Cleat: a secure hanging system that consists of two interlocking pieces: one attached to the back of the canvas frame and the other mounted on the wall. The cleat ensures stability and can support heavier work. #picturehanging #picturehanginghack #hangingartwork #hangingapainting #howto #artok #artisttips #artistsoftiktok #dorisrose #dorisroseart #dorisrosetips #paintingtutorial #arttutorial #ArtTutorials #oilpaintingtips #paintingoncanvas #paintingonpanel #hanginghardware
