How to Hang a Picture on a Wall Using Tape

Use this step by step tutorial to learn how to perfectly hang a picture on a wall using painter’s tape.

I have been plugging along as a guest participant in the Spring One Room Challenge! This bi-annual challenge is a gathering and celebration of home decor bloggers and designers hosted by Linda from Calling It Home. This eight-week design challenge will follow 20 featured designers along with hundreds of guest participants. Participants are challenged to makeover a space in their home, while sharing their progress along the way. Each week, a wealth of inspiration and creativity is shared!

I am continuing to refresh and update my family room. You can read all about my plan for this room HERE and How to Fix Ceiling Water Stains.

Hanging a picture perfectly on a wall, especially when there are two hooks, can be a challenge. With this simple trick, your pictures will hang perfectly straight the first time!

I received this beautiful Rhythmic Sunset Waves canvas print from my friends at Photowall. I am so happy with the quality and design of this beautiful custom-made canvas. To hang it perfectly on my family room room wall, I used this simple picture hanging hack.

Materials Needed:

• picture
• painter’s tape
• pencil
• level
• nail or picture hanger
• hammer

Instructions to Hang a Picture Perfectly Straight

Step One: Place a piece of painter’s tape across the back of your picture.

Step Two: With a pencil, mark the tape precisely where the nail or picture hanger will need to go.

Step Three: Place the tape on the wall where you want to hang your picture. Use your level to ensure the tape is straight.

Step Four: Hammer your nails where you have made your marks on the tape.

Step Five: Remove your tape and hang your picture.

That’s it! Just five easy steps and no extra holes or damage to the walls!

I hope that this is helpful to you. Please stop back next week as I share some more progress on this room refresh.
