Comments

Hi, you're watching VisiHow and today I'm going to show you how you can hang photos from your child - or other artists in the house, depending on who you've got - how you can hang those photos on the wall without damaging them. First thing we're going to do is look at a selection of fantastic art. This is the clown by young Mr. Henry.

Steps

1
Next up, we have a giraffe - rather fantastic I might say
.

2
And we have some other great photos in here, but the last one we're looking at is this fantastic American rocket, which, by the way, didn't really go to the moon
.
It just stayed in a warehouse at Area 51. No, I'm just kidding.

So, what we're going to need is many of these little plastic paper holders
.
I don't know what you call them, but that's what I call them. Plastic sleeves for holding papers.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4
Secondly, what we're going to need is some tape from my lovely little office caddy here
.
You can see I've got some tape right here on the edge.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5
And all we do is we take the sleeve and we open it up a little bit
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
We take the child's drawing - in this case it's this little space rocket
.
And what we're going to do is we're going to slide that rocket into the sleeve.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
Flex the drawing just a little bit so that it easily slides into the sleeve
.
Carefully slide it in and give it a little shake.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
And it's nice and contained in the sleeve
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9
Now, what we need to do is take our tape roll
.
We're going to peel off approximately 2, 2 1/2 inches of tape.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
We're going to take that and fold it over on itself, sticky side out
.
The reason we're doing this is so that now we have a sticky little piece to go on the back of the drawing.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
Again, we're going to make sure that the open part of our drawing is either up or to the side if you're hanging different kinds of paper
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
We're going to turn it to the back, and we're just going to put that piece of tape right there on the back
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
And we're going to need another piece of tape here so let's make another piece real fast
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
Same situation - about 2, 2 1/2 inches of tape
.
Fold it over and we've got a nice little sticky piece.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
Pick up your child's drawing
.
Put the piece of tape on the back
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
And then find a suitable place on the wall behind here
.
And then put your little guy's drawing right there. Stick it on the wall.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
And now, you have a lovely little space drawing featuring Mr
.
Henry, Papa, and the twins, Debbie and Sam.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18
This concludes our tutorial on how to hand your child's artwork on the wall without damaging it and so that you can later move it or put it elsewhere and later, we're going to hang Mr
.
Clown, who as a matter of fact is our assistant. He's probably going to be helping us with some cell phone videos.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
