Hanging frames (specifically Ikea Clips)

By Inkie1101

Excuse my ignorance, but I went from living in my parents house (where nails in the walls was a no-no) to a dorm room where tape and sticky tack ruled, so I've never really had to hang pictures.

I made a pretty image through the Rasterbator wizard. And A bought a bunch of those Clips frames from Ikea. Now if only I knew how the heck to hang these things. They're cardboard backed with a few holes. So... wire? String + hook? I really have no idea. Any advice would help.

Also, those sticky hooks are a no go. My walls have a weird texture.

Great minds think in sync! How strange you brought this up, because today I intetended to go to Ikea, but tomorrow, I should make it, to get those ever so cheap 4 pack frames @$1.99 to sell with some whimsical folk art I'm making, and I want to try several frames, so I will get a sample of the same clip frames you have. I'll let you know what I do with them... tomorrow!

But mostly likely slipping wire through and then twisting it to hang, is the best thing you can do, which is how most artists make canvas ready to hang...

Frame wire and small nails/hooks will give you the most level. Depending on how big your rasterbated image is (I presume its over several sheets, since that's what it does best), this would take a little while to string it all up, but it'll be worth it, and cut down on the holes in the walls.
