It never ceases to amaze me how many practical things Martha Stewart has taught me in my life. When I find myself googling how to do something random, when I least expect it, there's a Martha Stewart video out there showing how to do it easily in just a few moments. Now that's a legacy. Martha, you are loved now and forever.
YES! The French Cleat! If one has a mirror or heavy framed art on the walls hung by wire, you are asking for a disaster! Do yourself a favor and swap them all out with the French Cleat. Not only are they stronger and more secure, they are easier to hang-total Win-Win! Martha, my heart dropped to my toes when you said "1805"!!!! Mirror, painting, whatever, what an ordeal to go through! Considering your enthusiasm for the cleat and mentioning "because it wasn't hung properly", I am going to guess that poor mirror was not hung using a French Cleat.
This was very informative. Polyurethane Self-Adhesive Rubber Bumper Pads would be great to use on the back of the frames also. These will prevent the frame from sliding and keep it level.
The screw eye goes on the inside of the frame of the canvas, not on the back. For the back of the canvas, you want D-Rings that lay flush against the back
There are many better offerings on UA-cam regarding professional attachment and wrapping of wire; eye screws work okay on smaller, lighter things, but they are screwed into the inner frame. D rings are used for heavier frames and they are screwed to the back. The technique of proper wire wrapping has only a couple options, and this is not that.
I want to hang a heavy glass framed picture (I'm talking 5 ft diameter, maybe 15-20 pounds) on a marble chimney breast without drilling a hole in the wall and damaging the marble. Is it even possible? Ceiling cables maybe? Some kind heavy duty adhesive pads?
The screw eyes on the large canvas seem strange to me. When hung on the wall, the screws would protrude and possibly dent/scratch the paint if bumped into, wouldn't it?
Martha interrupts the guest too much as they're giving instructions. Had to re play this clip a few times trying to fully hear the instructor . Ego gets in the way too often.

Thanks Martha. I’m an artist who is finally learning!

This video has saved my life. And my painting's. Thanks for sharing your tips!

Exactly!🤦🏾♀️
Thinking the same thing
"when it gets really tight it's hard to use your fingers" couldn't agree more.
lol
Ahah
😂😂
after 4 years, still funny
but u can use ur tongue instead...
Thank you. This helped me hang a 30 by 40 canvas.
So helpful ladies… thank you so much.
I'd recommend though to screw inside the stretcher/frame so that the painting hangs more flat on the wall
Wrongly done. Now the hooks will make the canvas stick out from the wall. They go inside the frame.
They will mark the wall too
Thanks
Thank you for this
Yup! I've made that mistake before.
I love Martha Stewart :)
Those cleats at the end are how kitchen wall cabinets are hung in France.

hello martha stewart I'M YOUR FAN I'M EXCITED

You mean they would damage the wall paint? I think you are right. I don't use them. I use the ones that end up flat on the back.
Correct, they should use a D-ring
Could just screw then into the side
You can screw them on the inside of the frame. Problem fixed!
Why wouldn't you put the screw eyes on the inside? Seems like common sense

I think you need to take some time and go to woodprix website to learn how to make it.
You may go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself guys.
If that is an original piece, you just put a hole in the canvas, and it will not hang flat on the wal
This is wood glad I didn’t hammer in to my metal frame lol
Screw eyes are a bigger crime than insider trading. Use a D-ring Martha.
That looked like 14 inches on each side.

Urgh this is so difficult. 😫
they forgot how to hang the canvas :(
I did it with the Woodglut plans.

Martha, you talk too much when you have guest hosts.
One of these Ooks? Wth

thats one way of looking at things, but who really gives a damn.
