For this hack to hang picture frames, you first want to establish an idea of where you want to hang your picture or artwork. Then grab your framed picture and turn it over, find the bracket you’re going to use to hang your photo, then squeeze a dab of toothpaste in the middle.
Carefully hold your picture in the spot where you want to hang it. As a tip, you could even ask another person to stand behind you so they can let you know when the picture looks perfect from their perspective.
Once you have the perfect spot eyed up, press your picture against the wall. When you remove the picture you’ll have toothpaste in exactly the spot you need to put your screw or nail to hang your picture! 👏
Screw or nail in your hardware, then wipe away the toothpaste. (Don’t forget to wipe the back of your picture too!). 🤗
Better yet, you could even consider using Gorilla or Monkey hooks to hang your frames without any tools! So not only do you have a foolproof way to hang the perfect picture, but now you have the easiest hardware to hang them too!
It’s a win, win!
