I have a little secret! It is a little embarrassing! Do you want to hear it? Ok, ready…
I am am not a very good DIYer! That’s right!
I wish I was… I really do! My Mom can do everything and so many other women bloggers can do so much. I am really impressed by all of them but honestly, every time I try to a “real” project (the kind that requires tools) I feel like I mess up.
But me waiting for my husband to do everything for me isn’t working either. He does a lot but he only has so much time and he also needs to spend time with the family so I decided I would attempt this small project by myself.
I had this cute Pottery Barn Collage frame for a very long time and thought it was time to hang it myself. I can hang pictures but not the double hook ones. Well, I can but I leave a thousand holes behind the picture, hehe!
I was talking to my Sister-in-Law, Ann Marie and she told me about a trick so I was feeling brave.
This is the wall that I wanted my frame on.
Here is the back of the frame. I took painters tape and taped the back from hook to hook.
Then, I made a hole where the nail would go.
Then I placed the tape on the wall where I wanted it and then used a level to make sure it was straight.
Next, I screwed in the drywall screw and the regular screw. Then, I placed the frame over the screws.
YES… It worked!! No Mistakes, No Holes, No Crying!!
I know this isn’t a huge project but those double hooks used to scare me and now I feel like a pro, lol!
How about you, do you hang your own photos? Do you have any tricks?
Have a great day!
