I need urgent help hanging a picture!!!!!!!!!!?
I have to hand in a picture for a competition tomorrow morning! I just got it back from the framers and i realize there are no fixtures to hang it on the wall. What should I use to hang it? I can go to the shop first thing but the backing is thick cardboard, how would I attach fixings? please help!!!

- You need to ask someone like Saddam, he knows all about Hanging.
- You can either: A) sink two small screws on either side of the frame a little less than half-way down the sides, and wrap wire around each screw, sink them a little more to tighten, and then hang from a nail or B) if the piece is lightweight, you can use adhesives- there are specific products for that use, or you can improvise with wax, glue- anything sticky. If there are no nails from which to hang it, prop it up on an easel or table.
- Make sure you hang it at eye level, then get masking or duct tape and make something you can use to hang picture, astopper for nail so to speak. Will this work, not sure but has potential
- ask the people at the store if they have thik wal hangers and if they du just buy them thets what u shuld du
- If the frame's wood you should be able to use scew eyes or sawtooth hangers (see http://www.push-pin.com/prodframe1.htm for examples). If the frame is metal there are attachments that either slide into the track of the frame or that fit between the backing and the inside of the frame. The frame shop should have exactly what you need and they should have given it to you in the first place.
- Take it to an art supply store and get help. I doubt if this is a difficult problem and so there is no point in freaking out over it. Or you can take it to a hardware store and ask there.
