Installation for Canvas Artwork
Materials Needed:
-Wall Space
-Canvas Art
-Hammer
-Pencil
-2 Nails
-Level
-Stud Finder (optional)
Find the perfect spot to hang your canvas, hold the canvas against the wall in that spot. Using the
level, make sure the canvas is straight. You want the level to sit on top of the canvas instead of
holding it above the canvas so it will be more even. Make any needed changes until the level is
showing that the canvas is straight.
Remove the level from on top of the canvas, keeping the canvas in place. Using the pencil, mark
above the canvas. Make sure when you mark it is directly above the canvas to minimize the chance of
the canvas hanging askew. Remember, the canvas will be 1.5 inches higher than the line you drew
(based on the canvas bar size) so you'll want to place the canvas slightly lower than where you want it
to hang.
Take the first nail and line it up with the mark from step two. Using the hammer, put the nail into the
wall on the mark you made. You want to make sure that you do not hammer the nail all the way into
the wall so the canvas will have space on the nail to hang onto.
Take the second nail and like step three, line the nail up to the mark. Put the second nail into the wall
using the hammer. Like the first nail, you do not want to put the nail all the way into the wall. Make
sure to let the nail hang out so the canvas can hang from it.
Now that your nails are secure in the wall, you are ready to hang your canvas! Take the canvas (the
back facing the wall) and place the top wooden bar of the back of the canvas on top of the two nails.
Once you hang the canvas, if it is a bit askew, you can move them slightly up or down to straighten it
out.
You are done, your canvas piece is finally hung and ready to show off! Congratulations!
