Wall Mirrors

What you want to do is take the necessary steps, when hanging your mirror on the wall, to install this wall art correctly the first time around. So now you have the wall mirror of your choice. You have selected the wall to hang it on. The first thing you have to do is have someone hold the mirror against the wall where you want the mirror to hang, while you mark the wall with a pencil a short line somewhere near the center of each side of the mirror. Make a pencil mark on the wall where the center is.

On the back side of your wall mirror, look for where the mirror hanger attached to the back side of the mirror is located. Now go to the wall you have just pencil marked. From your top pencil mark, go down the center and mark on the wall, with pencil, exactly where the hanger will be located on the wall when the mirror is hung.

After you have measured the locations of the hangers, make the pencil markings on the wall where they will be located when the mirror is hung on the wall.

With an electric screwdriver, screw a wall clip on to the wall using a wood screw large enough and long enough to go through the wall and deep into the wooden stud inside the wall. If only one wall clip is necessary, make sure the clip is firmly attached to the wall and hang your mirror.

If your wall mirror requires two wall clips, then with a device called a level, go across the two screw hole markings you have marked on the wall and make any adjustments necessary to make sure your markings are level with each other.

Always make sure your wall clips are securely attached to the wall before hanging your decorative wall mirror. Now hang your mirror.

With the proper tools and techniques hanging a decorative wall mirror is something most anyone can do.
