Seven/  Correct hanging

Unfortunately I have had two paintings damaged  in the past because I did not hang them properly. I used to simply rest the top lip of my work on two or three nails angled into the wall. Luckily no one was hurt, however one of the paintings was damaged. To prevent this from happening I would suggest always using the correct hook and d-ring that corresponds to the size and weight of your work. Also, where possible, always try your best to locate a wall stud. If this isn’t possible you can purchase special hardware that can be used on drywall.
