Sending nails for retirement

To date, there are quite simple and effective ways by which you can hang a picture, a photo or a favorite poster, without drilling the "ill-starred" holes in the wall. We bring to your attention the most popular of them.

Stationery clip or hook for clothing

This method is best for walls with wallpaper. In order to fasten the paper clip, you should:

1. Make a small horizontal incision in place of the future attachment.
2. Next, fill this place with a superglue and put a paper clip or a clothes hook there.
3. Cover place with wallpaper.

Button

This method is very similar to the previous one due to the fact that the base also "hides under the wallpaper", and the serving part serves as a carnation on which the picture is fastened.

Spider hook

You can purchase this type of mount in the building stores. Its name is due to the fact that it has four sharp ends that are easily attached to the wall, while leaving no traces on it.

Important! This is a very reliable fastening, as it can withstand a frame or picture weighing up to 2 kilograms.

Needle

Another very simple yet effective way to hang photo frames on the wall. Since the needle is made of steel, it holds the frame well. Its essence is to simply stick the sewing needle into the wall.

Another option - is to break off her ear, and using pliers to drive it into the surface of the wall. This way you will get a tiny hole that will be imperceptible.

Double-sided scotch

This method is best used for walls made of drywall or decorated with thin paper wallpaper. You just need to paste a tape on the edges of the frame and attach it to the wall. This is an excellent option to paste the photo frame on the wall, if there is no loop.

Liquid nails

1. You just need to apply them on the back of the frame with small dots, the size of a pea.
2. Then the picture is pressed against the surface of the wall and hold for about 5-6 minutes.

Important! In the case of polymer glue painting after gluing to the wall, it is necessary to prop up something and leave it for a day.

Wine cork

To do this, the wine cork is cut into small circles, and then glued to the wall with a quick-drying glue. Next in this cork squeezes the carnation, which you can hang the photo frame.

Molding or ceiling skirting board

This method is suitable for those who want to hang on the wall a lot of pictures and photos. To do this, you need to glue the surface of the wall molding. To it the strong line is fixed, on which it will be already possible to hang pictures.
