Hanging interior art work can sometimes be tricky. Hardware stores sell braided and solid picture wire that can be cut or unwrapped from the loops on the frame or the hanger/hooks.

Be sure you know the weight on the art work you are hanging and select the appropriate size wire for safe support. Use electrical tape on the loops on the frame and the section of wire that rests on the hanger/hooks.

Over time the art work may sag and lean a little from the wall. Re-wire as needed.
