How to Put Wiring Backing on Frames
The Problem
Frames purchased from the store often have hanging hardware that makes no sense. The other day I found my own mother hammering in two nails for a piece of artwork that only needed one. She was struggling so much and I realized it was because of the frame she has purchased. Many frames come with two d-rings that are not connected or one D-ring that is not placed in the right orientation. So today I am going to teach you how to attach hardware onto your frames that will allow you to have the flexibility to use fewer nails and change your framing game for life.
The Solution
Frames with no hardware.
Frames that come with no hardware or the wrong hardware take a little bit more work. To start off measure 1/3 down from the top of the frame. Make a mark and place your d-ring hardware there. Repeat on the other side. Once measured take your drill and drill a small hole. I like keep the hardware on the frame and drill through the hole. This allows me to make sure it is in the right place. Next take your screw driver and screw on your hardware. Once hardware is secure we will add on our framing wire.
The Solution
Frames with hardware.
Frames with hardware will move striaght to wiring! Get your framing wire out, make sure you cut a large enough piece of wire. The more wire the better. Loop the wire through the d-ring, tuck the wire under and over to create another loop. Weave wire through d-ring and pull tight. Wrap wire tightly. Repeat on other side.
Final Product
Your frame now have one wire connecting your hardware. It can now be easily hung!
