II. Prepare your painting to hang it on the wall

Our kits are made up of several components that make them unique and complete, including the accessories for hanging the picture.You will find them in the plastic bag that also contains the four brushes with the pink wooden base.

Have you found them? Exactly, they are those 4 pieces, two small screws and two pieces of metal with a hole in the middle that embrace a triangle (Females). And now that you have identified them... Let's get to work!

STEP 1 - Mark the back of the frame with a pencil

Mark two small pencil points on the back of the painting so that they are symmetrical on the top of the two sides of the wooden frame.

We recommend placing them about 10cm from the top edge of the frame and on the side rails of the frame, not on the top rail, as this will provide greater strength and prevent the top rail from suffering due to the weight.

STEP 2 - Screw the eyelets to the frame

To screw the two pieces to the painting, simply insert the screw through the eyelet hole and carefully screw it into the canvas frame. Use the two dots you have marked in pencil to screw the two pieces together as centered as possible.

STEP 3 - The perfect height to hang the painting

Taking into account the viewer's point of view, we recommend Hang the painting at a height between 1.65 and 1.75 cmThis way, we'll avoid lighting problems caused by hanging it too high or placing it too close to furniture, the sofa, or any other object in the room.

Once you have the two pieces attached to your painting at the top and back and have chosen the place to display your masterpiece, all you have to do is attach the accessories that go on the wall.

III. Prepare the wall to hang your painting

You will find the accessories that go on the wall in another small plastic bag along with a tube containing a yellow liquid (leveler) and two small bottles like those for paint but with a whitish liquid (varnish).

Exactly! The accessories that we will place on the wall are those 2 white pieces that have 3 metal studs each (hooks). There is little left to finish, these will be the last necessary steps:

STEP 4 - Mark the position of the hooks on the wall

Use the tape measure to mark with the pencil the two points where the hooks will be fixed, measuring the position of both points from the ground, as well as the distance between them.

Now, we will hammer one of the hooks into the wall. Be careful! Only one of the hooks into one of the two points marked previously, this way we will have time to level and correct the position of the second and last hook.

STEP 5 - Level the position of both hooks

To make sure hang the picture completely straight, we will place the picture's eyelet on the hook that we already have fixed to the wall and we will place the leveler (tube with yellow liquid that we include in our kit) on top of the picture attached to the wall.

When the bubble of the level is between the two central marks of the level, we will know that the painting is completely straight. It is time to draw a pencil line marking the upper edge of the painting.

PASSED 6 - Hang the picture

Finally, check that the distance from the wall between the line we drew from the top edge of the frame and the point where we'll place the second hook is the same as on the frame. If everything is correct, secure the second hook at the marked point with a hammer.

Once we have the two brackets fixed to the frame and the two hooks fixed to the wall 100% level, we only have to hang the frame, letting the triangular brackets of the frame rest inside the two spouts that protrude from the hooks.

Done! Your picture is now perfectly hung, quickly and easily, without the need for a drill. If any of the pencil marks are visible, take down the picture, erase the marks with a pencil eraser, and put the picture back up.
