It had two hooks on the back a certain distance apart. The trick was to make it level and in the right place. The Guy was contemplating how to do it, but I had an idea. As I explained it to him, the look of incredulous disbelief spread across his face.
My plan was this:
- String dental floss from the two hooks.
- Hold the picture to the wall by the dental floss.
- Put a pencil mark at each spot where the dental floss hangs.
- Move the picture.
- Measure down one inch from each spot and mark again.
- Check the levelness of said marks.
- Put in nails.
- Use floss to hang the hooks on the nails.
- Remove floss.
His plan?
- Measure the hooks with the level.
- Make marks on the level.
- Hold level to wall and mark spots with pencil.
- Put in nails.
- Hang picture.
FINE. But mine would have worked too.
I would have done it your way. It's a little less abstract, plus I don't own a level. :)
ReplyDeleteWe hung a frame like that at Shannon's last week. We stood and wondered how to do it too! Unfortunately, we didn't come up with anything creative like your plan.
