If you want to add a little flair to the way you hang your canvas wall art, why not use ribbons to hold it on your wall? It is an innovative way of presenting paintings. It also brings more attention to your wall decoration. This style of hanging pictures is well suited for a child’s playroom or bedroom. You can also do this for your paintings in your living room.
If you were to hang your canvas the traditional way, all you would need is a hanging kit, a nail, and a hammer. If you want to be a little more original, you can use ribbons to hang your artwork. The tape should be visible at the top of the canvas. The tape will become part of the artwork and wall decoration.
If you’ve settled on a particular painting that you want to hang this way, you should look at your painting colors and base your ribbon color on that. You want to let the tape complement your artwork, not clash with it or overshadow your canvas wall art.
You should also get wider or thicker tapes for larger canvases so that the tape can support the weight of a heavier piece of art. Use thinner ribbons of about an inch for smaller paintings. Stick to plain ribbons and avoid patterns on the ribbon. You don’t want the viewer to be distracted from the painting by a conspicuous ribbon.
When you hang your canvas wall art with a ribbon, it draws more attention and automatically becomes the focal point of your room. He only needs a few things to get started on this project, including scissors, tape, a nail, a wall hook, and a hammer.
Hammer a small, thin nail to hold the tape to the back of the canvas, not the sides. Nail the ribbons to the left and right frames of the canvas. Lay your painting face down on a smooth, flat surface with the back facing you.
Place a soft cloth under the painting to cushion the blows of the hammer. Hammer carefully to avoid damaging your artwork. You don’t have to hammer too hard because small nails can easily gouge the frame.
Install the hook on your wall a little higher than usual. Remember that the tape will be exposed and when you hang your painting, your canvas will fall a little lower than when it hangs without tape. Use larger, stronger hooks for larger canvases and smaller hooks for small paintings.
Hanging paintings in this way in a series in your hallway or stairwell will also look cute. Don’t overdo the tape look on all canvas wall art throughout the house. Use it for just a few pieces so it doesn’t look too ordinary.
