This will ensure the picture frame is oriented correctly as you install the D-rings.
You can get sticky felt bumps at a craft supply shop, hardware store, or online. They are just small circular pieces of felt with an adhesive on the back that you peel off a sheet like stickers.
For example, if the picture frame is 30 cm (12 in) long, make a mark on each side 10 cm (3. 9 in) down from the top of the frame.
D-rings are the standard hardware used to install picture frame wire. You can purchase them at a framing supply shop, hardware store, craft supply shop, or online. The D-rings will come with tiny screws to attach them. Note that this will only work for wooden frames or frames made out of other pliable materials that you can screw into. It will not work for metal frames.
For example, if the frame you want to hang weighs 13 lb (5. 9 kg), you could use 15 lb (6. 8 kg) picture frame wire.
This will allow you to tie and secure the wire in place while still leaving a little slack for hanging the frame.
Make sure there is a little slack in the line after you are done tying the ends to the D-rings. If the wire is straight across and tight with no slack, undo the slipknots and retie them with less wire.
If you have a lot of excess wire at the ends, you don’t have to wrap all of it. You can just wrap it in 4-5 coils, then clip off the rest of the excess wire with pliers.
Make sure to use a hook that can support the weight of the frame. The packaging will tell you the weight capacity of the hook. If the picture frame is heavy, nail the hook into a wall stud or use gypsum anchors.
