How to Add Hanging Hardware to Your Art!

 

How to add hanging hardware to your artwork! 

I wanted to do a tutorial on how I add hanging hardware to my artwork, as this is something that I used to struggle with. It is actually very easy and only takes a few minutes! I did a verbal walk through in this video, but also wanted to write down and link a lot of the supplies I am using. You can find all of these items in any hardware store or online!

Step 1 

- Pencil 

- Tape measure: https://amzn.to/3ZBh1mk 

Measure about 1/3 of the way down your canvas and use the pencil to mark the areas where you will add the D rings. 

 Step 2 

- Drill: https://amzn.to/3mnlvyO 

- D rings and screws: https://amzn.to/3IQyNer 

 Place the rings where you made your marks and use a drill to screw them into place. 

Step 3 

- Wire snips: https://amzn.to/3KPJZuG 

- Hanging wire: https://amzn.to/3mr8u73 

Run the wire through one of the D rings and bend it over to hold the wire in place. Run the wire about 1-2 inches past the second D ring and use the snips to trim the wire. Twist the extra ends of wire around the main piece on your canvas to tie the wire/hold it in place. you can trim any excess wire if there is too much. 

 Step 4 

- Pen or marker 

Don't forget to sign your artwork! I like to initial and date mine.
