Fake Paper Pictures: Capitalizing on a Stupid Idea

By DIY Maven

Beside using newsprint to gauge furniture placement, you can use it to determine layout of pictures/art before you take hammer to nail.

So Easy You Don’t Need a "Need" List

Just measure and cut your newsprint to the size of the pictures/art you want to display. Tape and, better yet, RE-tape them to the wall of your choosing until you have them in the positions desired. And then hammer away. This also works great if you’re using those marvelous 3M Command Hooks. No need to waste the sticky part just because you have trouble with spacial placement.

Now that’s a good idea.

Geez, what a simple solution, yet I never thought of it. Thanks for the tip! Btw, since we haven't had actual bacon in our house (well, apartment) for a really long time, I don't know if Bacon the cat actually likes bacon the meat or not. Unlike most other cats I've met, she disdains human food, and yet is a portly weight for her small size.
