There are several simple home improvement projects that we tend to make much more complicated than they need to be including hanging pictures. I have seen also to gadgets and tools and special levels, even lasers; they need to hang a picture and I just don’t get any of that. I have discovered that all you really need to hang a picture is a strip a wood and a single nail. This is a piece of lath then piece of wood with a single roofing nail. I like to use a roofing nail because it has a nice broad head. What you do is you just slip the nail onto the wire in the back of the picture then hold it up where you want it. In this case, we’re trying to center it right between the closet doors and the curtain. So get it the proper height that you like then just simply press in. And the nail will make a hole right in the wall. And you just drag your nail down thru there, then you hang your picture exactly where you want it.
