Hang a Picture with Two Hooks the easy way just follow the steps outlined below!
We’ve all been there. You fall in love with a large piece of art only to discover d-hooks or (gasp!) 2 keyholes on the back. Now you have to figure out how to space the hooks the correct distance apart. The problem seems to be even if you measure the distance they hooks inevitable end up not exactly in the right place.
Frustrating for sure!

Not to worry! After years of hanging pieces like these in my shop, I know how the pros hang those pieces of art right the first time — Every time! And it’s not hard. And you don’t need to buy any fancy tools! All you need is low tack painters tape, a pencil and a level (you can use a free level app on your phone).
Just please do me a favor and hang them using heavy duty hangers like these from Amazon. It’s worth it not to find your expensive artwork in piece on the floor.

It’s that simple! For those of you who are in love with my tattered American Flag it came from Whiskey Woodsmithing. He’s an extremely talented wood artist and he happens to be my Nephew. I love my flag!
