Hanging a picture is something we have all been faced with, and something we have all seen go terribly wrong. Hammers crash through walls, pictures fall and take most of the plaster with them. That won't happen if you have the right materials. Picture hanging hooks come in enough different sizes to ensure that you will find one to hold your artwork. Look for the flattest hooks, and for nails that go in at a 45-degree angle. Hanging wall pictures should be fun, but it does not have to be a comedy. Does this Spark an idea?
