Wrap a small lump of glue around the end of the string and press it against the wall.
Attach the string to the wall with a blob of glue.
Use a lightly drawn pencil line to mark the course of the string across the wall.
If you want to form a line from the top-right corner of the wall to the bottom- left corner, you have to remove the string.
The string intersects the line drawn on the wall.The center point of the wall is here.A picture hung on an imaginary vertical line from the top of the wall to the bottom and passing through this point will be aligned with the center.
Rest a builder's level across the top of an existing picture frame on the wall, and level it by adjusting it until the bubble in the horizontal vial is exactly central.
To see the bottom edge of the builder's level, lightly mark the wall with a pencil.The horizontal line on the wall should be marked after each move by sliding the level toward the next picture.
The back of the frame should face you if you hold it against the wall.
Pull the wire taut as if the frame were already being hung from it.The taut wire forms a triangle at the apex of a pencil's tip.
Take the frame out of the way and mark the point at which the picture will be anchored with a pencil.When the picture is hung from this point, the top of the frame will match the previous frame.
