So helpful ladies… thank you so much.

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

[@user-pe2lw1ze8i]

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

[@Bumperspecialties]

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.

[@deborahonoge9533]

Super Helpful

[@jean_philippe_immigration_svc]

Thank you. This helped me hang a 30 by 40 canvas.

[@DrJones-nh4my]

I love Martha Stewart :)

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

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

[@Visionofcolor]

Exactly!🤦🏾‍♀️

[@madman3891]

"when it gets really tight it's hard to use your fingers" couldn't agree more.

[@twaysonedwards]

lol

[@montanakg7331]

Ahah

[@mochi4005]

after 4 years, still funny

[@DFringeMinority]

but u can use ur tongue instead...

[@henrytotesaut8390]

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

[@laalzeboo]

I'd recommend though to screw inside the stretcher/frame so that the painting hangs more flat on the wall

[@fyfgt5733]

Wrongly done. Now the hooks will make the canvas stick out from the wall. They go inside the frame.

[@analogdistortion]

They will mark the wall too

[@erikamack8096]

Thanks

[@Loukk_]

Thank you for this

[@annjohnson8437]

Yup! I've made that mistake before.

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?

[@puffeiffer]

Those cleats at the end are how kitchen wall cabinets are hung in France.

[@z1522]

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.

[@KisaDreams]

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?

[@MrTachyon3000]

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.

[@AnishChari]

Correct, they should use a D-ring

[@analogdistortion]

Could just screw then into the side

[@Loukk_]

You can screw them on the inside of the frame. Problem fixed!

[@smokingsection3358]

Why wouldn't you put the screw eyes on the inside? Seems like common sense

[@keshaborja8564]

I think you need to take some time and go to woodprix website to learn how to make it.

[@Uknowwhoiam69]

"Once you get in there really tide" owh

[@christjulipds13]

You may go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself guys.

[@konika865]

Urgh this is so difficult. 😫

[@angelicacushing6032]

Screw eyes are a bigger crime than insider trading. Use a D-ring Martha.

[@moderngoddessmaryfaith5428]

This is wood glad I didn’t hammer in to my metal frame lol

[@scarlettwilliams7935]

Martha did not let that woman explain why and how l

[@yvonnejvdp]

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.

[@janeromnicki6598]

I did it with the Woodglut plans.

[@jenniferpettay6163]

If that is an original piece, you just put a hole in the canvas, and it will not hang flat on the wal

[@Borum89]

they forgot how to hang the canvas :(

[@analogdistortion]

One of these Ooks? Wth

[@skylight1502]

0:48 That is the whitest laugh I’ve ever heard

[@ericjensen9091]

Martha, you talk too much when you have guest hosts.

[@ronnyraygunz8718]

great show, hosted by an ex convicted felon.

[@maritimezhang]

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