These framed ferns have hung on my living room wall for 5 years. My family refers to them as "the dead ferns". Nice, huh! After finding some art work on clearance at Target I decided it was time to make a change. Good-bye dead ferns, hello pretty clearance pictures....
They have a mirror frame so it is a little hard to photograph. Anyway, next step deciding placement. First I traced each frame onto packaging paper from the Dollar Tree.
Cut out each one (The paper likes to curl)
Then I taped each one to the wall using blue painters tape so it wouldn't pull the paint off the wall. Once I decided on the placement of the "pictures" I measured and made sure each was level. This is a first for me! Usually I just wing-it and make swiss cheese out of my walls with all the holes! Not this time!
Then I measured each frame's hanger, found the center, and transferred that measurement to the paper on the wall.
And tah-dah!!!!!
Pretty clearance pictures hung straight and even on my wall! No swiss cheese walls!
I guess it pays to take your time some times ;-) !
