Easiest way to hang a gallery wall

A gallery wall can be a stunning design centerpiece in a living room, bedroom, staircase or hallway. With these simple steps, create a masterpiece look with any combination of framed photos, artwork, heirlooms and other hanging décor.
Gather your gallery pieces and needed supplies. A gallery wall can look orderly with consistent photos (such as all black and white) or frame styles (such as all wood or metallic), or it can take on a collected look with a variety of colorful photos, artwork, frame styles and three-dimensional décor. Just make sure each piece is ready to hang with a proper hanger or hook.

Supplies:

Variety of gallery wall pieces
Roll of paper
Tape
Nails or screws and anchors
Hammer
Toothpaste
Pencil

Trace and cut out all gallery pieces on paper to create templates. Simple wrapping paper will all do the trick.

Mark the nail placement on each paper template by laying it over the backside of the frame or artwork and tracing the hanger’s edge. Mark this nail spot with an X. Once your template arrangement is final and taped on the wall exactly where they will hang, hammer a nail through each template’s marked X. Tear away the paper template and the nail is ready in perfect position to hang each gallery piece.
