Picture Hanger Hack

By DIY Maven

Have you ever wanted to hang some art that didn’t have a hanger on the back? If you drink soda pop from a can, you’re covered. Just wiggled the tab back and forth until it pops off the can. Using a small nail, nail the tab onto the back of your frame. I used two, one tab nailed to each side, of my latest project. You’ll want to bend the tabs a bit, either before you nail them down or after. I did so after with the help of a screwdriver slipped under the tab while applying force to the lower half of the tab with a second screwdriver.

Gosh, I forgot all about this nifty trick. I used to use them on all my craft projects. I had to hot glue most of mine since they didn't have solid backs for a nail to attach to.
