Step 1: Prepare the Wall
Before hanging your frameless canvas, it’s important to prepare the wall properly. Start by selecting the ideal location where you want to hang your artwork.
Using a tape measure and pencil, mark the desired height on the wall. Use a level to ensure the line is straight.
Step 2: Attach Picture Hanging Strips or Adhesive Hooks
Using either picture hanging strips or adhesive hooks, attach them to the back of your frameless canvas. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific product you are using.
Step 3: Mark the Position on Wall
Place your canvas against the wall at the desired height, aligning it with the line you marked earlier. Use a level to ensure it is straight. Take a pencil and mark the top corners of the canvas.
Step 4: Position and Hang
Take the canvas down and determine the appropriate spot to place the picture hanging strips or adhesive hooks on the wall. Make sure they are aligned with the pencil marks you made.
Gently press the picture hanging strips or adhesive hooks against the wall and hold for the recommended amount of time as per the product instructions. Make sure they are securely in place before proceeding.
Step 5: Hang the Frameless Canvas
Carefully lift your frameless canvas and align it with the picture hanging strips or adhesive hooks on the wall. Press firmly against the wall to ensure a strong attachment.
If you are hanging a larger canvas, it is recommended to use wall anchors and screws for added stability. Follow the instructions on the package to properly install them on your wall.
Optional Step: Use Hammer and Nails
If you prefer a more traditional method of hanging artwork, you can also use a hammer and nails. Start by marking the position on the wall, then gently tap the nails into the marked spots. Hang your frameless canvas by placing the top edge over the nails.
