Preparation

Before postponing the self-tapping screws, dowels and a hammer to the side, and choose the fastening method that suits you, you need to evaluate two parameters.

• The weight of the picture or any other item you are going to be attached.
• The wall is from what it is made: concrete, plasterboard or brick, and what is covered: smooth or textured wallpaper, paint, tile, and so on.

With the first parameter, everything is simple: not every fastener is able to withstand heavy frames, and most are calculated at all for weight up to 1 kg.

With the second, a little more complicated: not all methods can be equally effective on different surfaces. For example, a double-sided sticky tape can only be used on a smooth coating, while the velcro will be kept tightly on the textured.

Fastening options for wallpapers without nails

Whatever way you do not choose, always make measurements with a building level so that everything is exactly. Especially in the event that you have conceived the placement of multiple images.

1. Portnovskaya Bulasa

The easiest method, it is suitable only for very light items: posters, any drawings on paper and photos without a frame, maximum with paper. You can use the portor pin, and the alternative is the button from the stationery store. The product is simply sticking into the wall, so it will be suitable only if it is covered with wallpaper or made of drywall. Paint and concrete pin or button are not aswil. By the way, before applying from the English pin, you can disconnect the decorative ball with the help of pliers. So there will be only a thin rigid needle that will be practically invisible.

2. Bilateral Scotch

Also tool for light photo frames. It has proven itself on smooth plasterboard, paper and tiled surfaces. You can take both ordinary tissue and foamed tape. The latter is suitable for heavier items.

Bilateral adhesive tape on foam

Application Simple: One strip of tape is glued on the partition, on the frame is another of the same size. The heavier frame, the wider there should be a tape; Minimum size 1 cm.

Before conspiring the picture on the wall without drilling, be sure to designate the place of gluing the tape. And remove the protection at the very end, before connecting the parts to prevent the dust sediment and pollution on the sticky part.

The only minus - the scotch is difficult to remove from the surface. If you need to do this in the future, try to soften the glue before dug, sending a jet of hot air from a hair dryer on it. Another method is to use a painting tape, pre-sticking it to the scotch. Carefully pull the tape, the scotch must move together with it.

3. Stationery Clip

Such a fastener can only be considered if the wallpaper is pissed, and placed the placement of stable images.

It will take any clip, a well-sharpened knife (preferably stationery or construction) and superchalter.

Sequencing

1. With the help of a knife, you need to make a small cross-shaped incision in the wallpaper.
2. A slightly bent clip is inserted into the resulting hole.
3. Leave the clips to the wall: one piece forming the hook should be outside, and the second is to enter the incision.
4. If the technical part of the clip is not visible behind the cut, drop a little glue into the hole and tightly clamp.
5. The glue must consolidate the clip and connect the wallpaper such a way that only the hook is noticeable.
6. Leave fastening for a day, let him dry. The next day you can hang the product.

4. Hook-spiders

What to hang a picture without nails if the techniques are not for you? We suggest to consider a more professional tool that can be purchased in almost any building of building materials - hook-spiders. This is a plastic hook with thin metal spikes that provide reliable mounting.

You do not need to drill, it is enough to gently drive them with a hammer. But be careful: do not make an effort so as not to damage the plastic part. There are several types of such hooks: the smallest able to withstand to one and a half kilograms, the largest - nine kilograms.

It is very important in such a fastener correctly calculate the place of the loop, because the hook is below the technical part. Accordingly, the loop on the frame should be located in such a way that a portion with spikes is completely closed.

After removal of the "spider", small punctures will remain, which are easy to align, just poring the paper.

5. Velcroe

There are several variants of the holder in different forms: from simple lipukes and clashes to hooks, they are suitable for any walls: with wallpaper and under painting. The most popular from those presented are the COMMAND brand from 3M and Solving.

By analogy with the "spiders", the velcro is presented in four sizes: the maximum withstands up to 7 kg. You can fix several products at once, thus increasing their lifting force.

Command hooks set

The principle of operation is similar to a two-sided sticky ribbon, but unlike it, the velcro is easily removed from any surface. In addition, with a neat disassembly, they can be reused.

6. Cork

Not the most obvious way, how to hang a picture on the wall without nails - an ordinary traffic jam from under wine.

Sequencing

• The plug is cut into thin pieces of 1 cm wide.
• A nail or self-tapping is stuck in each piece.
• The plug is glued to superchalter.
• A day later, you can hang the frame on the dried system.

7. Curisa Rail

This suspension system often can be seen in art galleries, and at home can really make yourself. To do this, you will need an old cornice (any wooden rail), a fishing line or a caproove thread and hooks for fastening images. You can take two cornices, then the fishing line will take place between them in the tension.

Instructions for manufacture

• The cornice is installed under the ceiling on the desired length. It is chosen in the color of the surface or make contrast.
• The threads or fishing line are fixed with the help of kapron hooks - it is more reliable or simply traveled through the design.
• Hooks-fasteners for hanging images are on the fishing line.

The main advantage of the cornice rails - images can be changed at any time without dismantling the entire system. The design will look great in the modern interior and Scandinavian. But for the gallery it is better to choose a large room, a small area visually it will make even less.

8. Construction glue

Another method, as without nails hang a picture on the wallpaper, is to use an adhesive substance, such as liquid nails. But it is worth applying only if you are sure that the image here will hang for a long time; At least until the next repair.

How to use liquid nails

1. The surface must be cleaned, and the frame is to degrease and dry.
2. The glue is applied on the frame, pressed it to the wall and give a little dry.
3. If the image is small, glue needs a little, and it is imposed point. If the product is heavy, wake it snake throughout the frame.

Tips for mounting loops in paintings

• If you want to hang an image under the ceiling, for example, when arranging the gallery, keep in mind that it will need to be fixed at an angle with the help of a rope. Otherwise, the prospect and features of our view distort the proportions. Before working, be sure to count how it will look.
• The rope or fishing line can be glued, secured on metal cloves, which hold the canvas on the subframe, or on paper clips using a construction stapler, if any.
• A more professional approach is to attach metal suspensions or screws to the frame. Their sizes are selected depending on the weight of the product.
• The gearboard is not designed for a heavy framework, it is usually used for photo frames or thin and non-heavy items.
• The loop can be made from an ordinary English pin. To do this, it is opened, the ends of the pin (the needle and the protective cover) are biled off with pliers and sharpen a bit with the help of sandpaper. The resulting workpiece is introduced into the frame. As a result, it should be a loop with an eye from pins in the center.
