I was taught a trick today… I thought what a fantastically-stupid-simple idea! I have to share this with my readers! So here you are…for those of you hanging stuff challenged out there. You will never have 600 holes in your wall for one mirror or painting again!
Supplies-
Nails
Hammer
Painters Tape
Pen/Pencil
Turn over whatever you’re hanging and find the hooks/holes/whatever…
Lay a line of painters tape across the two hooks/holes/whatever…
Now mark on your tape where the hooks/holes/whatever(s) are, remove the tape from the back, and stick it on your wall where you’re going to hang it up.
You can use a level at this point to make sure your tape is straight. (I couldn’t find mine, so we’re moving on…)
Now nail into the wall where you made your marks on the tape…
And hang…
Did you just slap your palm against your forehead? I know I did when I realized how stinkin’ easy this was!
You don’t have to say it…
You’re welcome ;o)

Perfect- what a great great TIP!!!
#slapshandonforehead Yeah, this is a good one! Thanks. 🙂
What a fabulous tip! Pinning this for sure! Would you mind if I shared it on my Sharing Is Caring Wednesday post this week?
Ding, ding, ding! I needed this a couple weeks ago, thanks for the idea!
Um, yes! I knew it was something about tape but couldn’t figure out the marking part!

Brilliant! Wish I had seen this a couple months ago!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is a great idea! I am “pinning” this so I don’t forget “how to”. I saw your post over at “Wow Us Wednesday”.
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I just hung some things this weekend and sure could of used this tip as I was struggling to do it without a second set of hands or extra pair of eyes…..but more to hang soon so I’m glad I know now.
Glad to hear you found this helpful Robin! Happy hanging!
I think I love you..
Well then…love you too 😉 Happy hanging!
Great tip! I’ve seen other tips that I couldn’t seem to quite follow, but even I can understand this “fantastically-stupid-simple idea”! Thanks! BTW – LOVE LOVE LOVE the mirror!
Oh! my. You are an angel. Thanks.
Brilliant!!!
Where was this post when I needed it LAST week? Just kidding–but seriously, my poor walls…
Oh no Heather! Swiss cheese? 😉
I’m so glad I found this on Pinterest. Thank you for posting, you saved me and the walls I was working with. Blessings!!!
So happy you found me Hallie!
