I may be missing something obvious but how can i do this? I tried putty products for child's art and it eventually falls. I can't hammer in nails.
Is there some easy way I'm missing? Thanks |

You can get them at Walmart, Home Depot, etc. Just tap them in gently. Use a flat head screwdriver to pop them put when you don"t need them any more. Wire a washer to the hook on the back of the frame to hang smaller pictures. For larger pictures, use hanging wire. You can also use them to hang drapes. |

For something light, like children's art projects, laminate it and use a hot glue gun (lowest heat setting). You should be able to just peel off the hot glue whenever you decide to replace the art. The reason you need to use a lower heat is that it does not adhere to the paint on your walls and cause peeling. You must laminate the art, though.
For heavier items only drilling will suffice. Be precise in measuring in advance. |

| If you drill, you need a hammer drill and masonry bits. |

| For lightweight items like laminated posters have you tried 3M Command strips? |
