Hanging prints at home with Command™ Picture Hanging Strips

Brought to you by Command™ Picture Hanging Strips.

I move prints around in my home all the time. Of course, every time I do this I end up with holes on my walls (which annoys my husband to no end). I’ve been wanting to put these huge 60 x 90cm prints up for a while, but I haven’t been able to decide on where they would look best.

So instead of whacking a few more holes on the walls, I was glad when Command™ Picture Hanging Strips came to my rescue! I could put the prints up, take some photos and then decide on which spot works better. Actually, YOU can help me!

I bought the prints online (I wrote about them here), got them printed at Officeworks and I purchased the large frames for $15 from Kmart.

I haven’t used the Command™ Picture Hanging Strips before, but was eager to give them a go. They come in so many different sizes to suit your wall hanging. I made sure I picked the right strip for the size of the frame. There is a handy guide on the back. So for me, I need the strips to hold 7.2kg as the instructions say they will hold a 60 x 90cm frame.

I positioned the strips as per the instructions – 4 x sets of strips on each frame.

They were so easy to put on the wall. Remove the little plastic sticker back and then push the frame on… If they are a little crooked you can easily re-position. You can watch a good video here too.

All you have to do is gently pull the frame upwards from the bottom and you’ll hear a velcro sound.

• You then need to press firmly for 30 seconds before removing – left behind will be 4 strips and the matching ones will be on the frame.
• Ideally remove the picture for 1 hour before re-hanging for maximum strength.

The strips come in both black and white – I used the black ones here as they were easier for me to photograph.

I had a go at removing them altogether and it’s easier than ever. Just gently pull the flap directly down and it’ll be off in a matter of seconds.

But then I wasn’t sure if I really liked them in this spot, so I decided to add another set of strips and place the frame on an opposite wall to see what they would look like…

What do you think? The left or right photo?
