DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Hanging a picture is an easy do-it-yourself project with a couple hanging options.
Step 3: Choose a fastener
Decide if the picture will be fastened to the wallboard or a wooden stud beneath the wallboard. If fastening to a stud, use a stud finder to locate stud positions, or visually locate them by finding nailheads in the wallboard. Select a wall fastener that is suited to your application. If hanging from a wooden stud, use a two-piece hook-and-nail combination rated for the weight of the picture. If hanging from the wallboard, use a hollow wall anchor.
Use the correct wall fastener.
