 16 pounds Command strips

Four pairs of wall hanger strips hold up to 16 pounds with a maximum frame size of 24in(52cm) x 36in (76cm)  Framed  5.25lbs(2.4kg) unframed 1.5LBS(1.2kg).

The average family home has paintings in the 16(40cm) X 20(50cm) range and weighs about 2.25 lbs( 1kg) unframed to 5 lbs(2 kg) Framed.

Don’t replace reuse
Command stips are velcro, meaning they have a hook side and a loop side.  If you wish to change wall hanging more often you can buy loop side-only velcro adhesive tape. As long as you only use the hook side on the walls and the loop side on the paintings you can reuse these repeatedly.

Using Command strips the right way

3M Command

Rule of 57  High of pictures

Hang the picture so that the center of the picture is 57 inches from the floor. Doesn't matter how tall or wide, measures 57 inches from the floor. Mark that with a pencil on the wall, then hang your art so that the center is at that spot

How it works,   measure the picture top to bottom divide by 2 and add 57 (125.5cm) this is the top of the picture.

Seasonal wall art

No need to change our entire home decor but possibly a section of a room or entryway to change and rotate your art. Something like a person's little art gallery that will inspire and lift your mood as the seasons change.


Maybe you have a collection of cool landscapes or flowers for summer to inspire or allow you to just relax and enjoy the view as if you were walking through the summer flowers.



 

In fall you could change to bright landscapes to display the beautiful colours nature has to offer, and offset those dull rainy days

 




Remove those winter blues with something happy and vibrant.

And start a new spring with pictures inspired by life anew. Think of all the possibilities.

Mounting 

With the availability of the command strip, it is very easy to change the pictures and if you place the strips in the same place you will not even need to replace them.  Pro tip Once you place the first strips take the picture down and allow the glue on the strip to set for 1 hour
