This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to hang your canvas on the wall.


Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, it's essential to have all the necessary materials on hand. This includes:

  • Framed canvas

  • Screws

  • Screwdriver

  • Hanging Kit (Sawtooth hanger, nails or screws, and Anti-Collision Silicone pads)


Determine the placement

  • Use a measuring tape to determine the desired height and placement of your canvas on the wall.

  • Mark the spot lightly with a pencil where the top edge of the framed canvas will be.


Install the nails or screws

  • For small canvases with one sawtooth hanger:

    • Measure the width of the canvas and mark the center point on the wall where the sawtooth hanger will rest.

    • Hammer a nail or screw into the wall at the marked point.

  • For larger canvases with two sawtooth hangers:

    • Measure the distance between the two hangers on the canvas frame.

    • Mark these points on the wall, ensuring they are level and at the same height.

    • Hammer nails or screws into the wall at these points.


Hang the framed canvas

  • Align the sawtooth hanger(s) on the back of the framed canvas with the nail(s) or screw(s) on the wall.

  • Carefully hang the canvas, ensuring it is securely in place.


Level the framed canvas

  • Use a level to make sure the framed canvas is hanging straight. Adjust as necessary.

  • The anti-collision silicone pads will help keep the canvas steady and prevent it from tilting.


Tips for hanging your canvas:

  • Choose the right spot: Consider lighting and eye level when selecting the placement for your framed canvas.

  • Use a stud finder: For heavier canvases, it's a good idea to use a stud finder to ensure the nails or screws are anchored securely.

  • Double check measurements: Ensure your marks are level and accurate before drilling or hammering.
