How it's done:
01
We need: frames of varying sizes. Art works with a feather motif – or whatever you choose (Etsy.com is a great resource for printables), pencil, scissors, brown packing paper, masking tape, tesa® adjustable adhesive nail for wallpaper & plaster 1kg or 2kg - depending on the surface and weight of the frames
02
Use your pencil to trace the size and shape of each of the pictures onto the brown packing paper. Making these ‘dummy’ versions of your art is a simple way to work out the hanging positions before committing to them.
03
Draw on the hanging point of each piece of art.
04
Now use your scissors to cut out the ‘dummy’ frames. Use these and some masking tape to decide on the perfect position for each picture on the wall. When you’re happy, mark each position with a pencil mark on the wall. This is where the adjustable adhesive nails will go.
05
Now you have the perfect arrangement, you can go ahead and apply the adjustable adhesive nails to the wall –then hang each picture one by one!
06
A group of framed pictures on a single theme is an elegant way to decorate a hallway or flight of stairs.
