I use this simple DIY hack all the time when hanging anything on the wall. Grab some painters tape and attach a strip to the back of your item. Mark the spots for the nails and then place the tape on the wall. Use a leveler to make sure it’s even, then add your nails or hooks! Rip the tape off and hang your piece! All done! Works great for pictures, artwork, mirrors, etc.

I filmed a video of how to do this DIY hack when hanging Wells’ rattan mirror in his bedroom. I’ve gotten asked many times how it works, so I figured it deserved a permanent spot on the blog!

This frame hanging tip especially comes in handy when you are trying to match up multiple frames or pieces in a uniform way. Such an easy way to get that gallery wall right! I also used it when hanging these children’s artwork frames that I love. A great way to store and swap out kid’s art for under $20.
