At Frame Center, we love making the framing process as easy and enjoyable as possible—from helping you select the perfect frame to showing you how to hang it like a pro. If you’re tackling a hanging project with Wall Buddies, we’ve got you covered! These handy tools make it simple to secure your frame while ensuring it stays level and sturdy.
Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What You’ll Need
Before diving in, gather these supplies:
- Pencil or painter’s tape
- Ruler or tape measure
- Level
- Hammer
- Hooks (provided with your Wall Buddies)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mark the Top Center
Hold your frame up to the wall and decide where you want it to hang. Mark the top center spot using a pencil or a piece of painter’s tape.
2. Measure for the Wall Buddies
Measure the distance between the two downward-pointing arrows on the Wall Buddies attached to the back of your frame. This will give you the spacing needed for your hooks.
3. Find the Hook Placement
From your top-center mark, measure down 1 ½ inches (or the distance from the top of your frame to the arrows on the Wall Buddies). Using the measurement from Step 2, mark two points for your hooks, ensuring they’re evenly spaced with the top-center mark as the midpoint.
4. Ensure Everything is Level
Use a level to double-check that your hook marks are perfectly aligned. This is crucial for ensuring your frame hangs straight.
5. Install the Hooks
Hammer the hooks into the wall at the marks you made. Make sure the bottom of each hook aligns with the marks to provide secure support for your frame.
6. Hang the Frame
Slide the Wall Buddies up and over the hooks. Before letting go, ensure the frame is securely placed on both hooks.
Pro Tip: Double-Check the Level
Once your frame is hung, use your level to make sure everything is perfectly straight. Adjust if needed before stepping back to admire your work!
