Plan Picture Hanging Carefully: Paper Patterns Help Ts Eliminate Mistakes In Placing

floor, | places,

By ELIZABETH HILLYER PICTURE HANGING is usually a two-man job, One. person holds the picture against the wall while the other calls signals from the middle of the then the two change

This works pretty well for a

| one or two picture hang-up, but

what happens ‘to a big idea of

} hanging three or more?

Long before you lose your

ation that makes a real differ-

amateur standing as a decor-"“ ence in the style of the room.

ator, you know that one small picture alone on the wall does little or nothing to decorate a room. "Pictures all over the room hung singly or- in midget pairs only clutter ft. But organize pictures in well designed groups and you have something there, big enough and striking decor-

Start picture group designing by cutting paper patterns of all the pictures you think

you might use. With the pat- - -terns, you can -make-a one-man

job of hanging dozens of pictures and be sure they'll be exactly where you want them before a nail is pounded in the wall, Try the patterns on the wall.

Affix patterns on painted walls with scotch tape, or on papered

* walls with fine pins.

Experiment all you please until the design is well balanced, measure. and shift until distances between pictures is right. Continued rearrangement results in the perfect plan without leaving a plowed. field of abandoned nail holes, Now, when you draw light

pencil marks around corners or parts of edges of the patterns to guide the final hanging, the nails go in exactly the right places. When it’s time to pound nails,

make sure right there that once

the pictures are hung they'll stay straight on the wall. It's so easy to prevent constant checking to keep them level, by

nails for each picture instead of one. Space the nails wide apart be- : hind the pictures, so that each is near an outer edge. This stops swing and sway and safeguards ‘against drafts and door slams which might’ topple pie tures from the wall. Gather up scattered pictures around the house and see what
