How do I hang this?



This is a large painting on wood panel, about 3x4ft. Any ideas on how I hang this?

Re: How do I hang this?

Hi Spring
you could do this a couple of ways

I'm presuming this is ply or masonite/hardboard

you could make a wooden frame and use that for hanging on the wall like a traditional frame so the painting isn't damaged

or another way is to use mirror clips the type that screw into the wall then rest the painting on then slide them shut ...sold at all DIY outlets

I did think about a wooden frame. I wonder how hard it would be to make one and if I could do it with relatively low cost.

If cost is an issue, go with the mirror clips. Frames are expensive, building a frame takes tools, skill, knowledge, practice, plus time and materials.
Nice painting. Did you do it?

And I like your signature line.

drill a small hole in the middle top. put nail in wall. nail goes through hole you made and hangs painting.

Re: How do I hang this?

Hi, i am new to this but i am a professional woodworker, i frame my own stuff, what i do is , get heavy game wire, 100 pound test, put two wood screws on the back edges, , hook the wire to the screws firm, , the wire spans across the back, than put put your nails in the wall into studs, then hang, works for me great good luck
