THE ART OF PICTURE FRAME HANGING
If you’re anything like me you won’t naturally know the
difference between a nail and a screw. We aren’t all
born handy but we can definitely learn how to hang a
picture frame.
It’s a good idea to distinguish between what tools to use in
the hanging process so you don’t wake up to the sound
of your beloved artwork crashing to the floor.
