Mount Decorations on the Wall
Most homes these days contain walls made of drywall, which is a light, composite material that will not hold a nail or screw securely. In this case, the best way for you to mount decorations on your walls is to find a wall stud behind the wall; you can screw a wood screw, or hammer a nail through the wall into the stud to securely mount your decoration. If you cannot locate a wood stud in the location where you want to mount the decoration, you will need to drill a hole and insert a wall anchor that you insert a screw into. Plastic anchors are used for lighter items such as pictures and toggle bolts that open behind the wall when you insert the screw are used for heavier items like shelves. Then you simply need to hang your art or decoration from the screw. Does this Spark an idea?
