How To Tie Wire On Picture Frames

[@joseantoniorubiogonzalez9602]

*Perfect and I’ve used it for ballon arches as **enjoyable.fishing** recommend well as other decor with parties. It is strong and will hold up well. It works so good that another decorator stole my roll at an event!*

[@johntudek]

Finally, a step by step process how to tie down the wire in back. Thank you so much

[@TKKarma9799]

This was the most perfect video in every way and saved me a panic attack when I realized the frame I ordered didn't come with the hardware attached. Thanks!

[@MiguelNovoaTV]

I come here every single time I complete a painting on canvas. Your tutorial video is the best on this platform. Thank you for being my go-to for years.

[@jenniferaustin8617]

Thanks! This was enormously helpful-I bought a custom frame and it had d-rings but no wire attached Your instructions made it a breeze to tie the wire and I’m confident it will stay. Thanks again!

[@bukomafriq]

As a novice I used so many search terms before finding this video. What a relief! Now I know exactly what to do.

[@bluelunevideos]

Every time I hang a picture I have to come watch this to see how to tie the knot. One of these days it might sink in. :)

[@PaTudie]

same here.

[@delauren667]

Same here

[@rebeccanewberry3176]

Same! 😂

[@Podlag]

Ditto.

[@kimb9362]

Same…it’s at 2:45

[@tiffanysmith4046]

Yay thank you for helping first time homeowners like me figure things out! So grateful!

[@joy1696]

Very simple and helpful! I had no idea how to string/knot picture wire before watching this video. It was straight forward, and extremely easy to follow along with. :D Thank you again!!

[@heatherbrown8020]

Thank you! I just used this video to wire and hang a picture that has been leaning against the wall for months! I would have never thought to put the felt bumpers on the bottom corners. Cheers!

[@gottaluvlinda]

That was great. So clear snd easy! I’m about to have a go! I have to do this to 8 of my paintings for an exhibition and feel much more confident after watching that!

[@KateAmberYoga]

Thank you - super helpful! I am a new homeowner and just hung my first piece of art! It's a mounted 3D sculpture!

[@lornawright4686]

This video really helped me. I purchase pictures two months ago.they have been on the floor waiting until I could fine some one to help. Mr video made me happy ! Thank you !

[@cfleet53]

You are awesome! Thank you for these easy to follow instructions. I hope, 12 years later, you are doing well!

[@xpane]

Well done. I looked this up because I had no clue how to wire a picture for hanging. Thank you for this. First one up and magically it's still on the wall.

[@davidreichert9392]

By far the best video on the web on this topic

[@ryanc.6723]

I love this! No bullshit intro. Just jump straight in with quality info. We please do more how to’s.

[@SA-gk7gp]

Thanks for the precise instructions. Very helpful indeed for someone like me who had no clue how to hang a huge photo which was delivered with D rings and wire😪 🙏

[@sooome9294]

was looking on how to knot the wire and forgot how to lengthen it. Very helful and now I get to do all my pictures this way. Thank you for posting the video.

[@starlite33]

thanks from Michigan, USA. very straightforward and helpful!

[@elizabethgallery5660]

Very helpful, especially the bit about the second pass of the wire through the D-ring. I had not heard that before. Betsy, mosaic artist.

[@myema5694]

Thanks for taking the guesswork out of hanging frames with wire. Never considered that the little bumpers helped with air circulation but it makes sense. I have added D-rings to most of my frames but wasn't sure about how long the wire should be. Thanks for a no non-sense, well done video. Very helpful to this DIY-er.

[@toddmoss1689]

Excellent and easy to understand step by step directions. Thanks!

[@brainsqueegee2]

Perfect video. Exactly what I needed. Thank you. I work at a small college and we're hanging our graduation photos in the hallway. Thanks for the help.

[@artwithalison]

Thank you. I needed to know this for some paintings that are going into an art exhibition and they needed to be hung like this. Much appreciated for your clear instruction.

[@lindabarrett5455]

I wanted to see how to do the knot so thankful I watched your video. I appreciate the tips about the felt and d ring placement.

[@catat9442]

Perfection, I reference this video every time I need to do this and my results are always spot on, cheers mate!

[@pjspinn]

Excellent! Very clear step by step directions! Easy to follow!

[@dm9152]

Great how-to. To the point, no yammer yammer and I learned some additional pointers. And I agree with other commenter: great voice for KZbin. Someone in the other room came in to listen to the how-to because of his presentation manner. Thanks!

[@TerryParsnips-w7o]

Such a helpful video thank you mate. These simple jobs can go wrong so easily is you skip the important steps.

[@jenniferwong2245]

Wonderful! Clear and straightforward directions. Thank you!

[@xsmro7598]

This video has helped me hang several pictures in my home. Simply fantastic!

[@fixaframe]

Thanks x srmro glad the video helped you. Best regards, David Schummy

[@joannereilly4791]

Brilliant! Thank you for the explanations and knotting technique.

[@LeeLooface]

I legit came to learn how to tie the wire, but you have a glorious, relaxing ASMR voice, FYI 😊

[@PatrickBurke-NOAAFederal]

This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@jeffshaw9472]

Very informative and helpful. The felt pads are an excellent point. Thanks.

[@Onedayatatime3160]

Well done video with precise information in a quick manner. Thank you!

[@GardengalAAA]

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. Hung some concrete wall planters today and they look professionally done thanks to this video.

[@velvetnightmare3133]

Fantastic tutorial! And your voice is lovely to listen to.

[@claudiahemmings2080]

Excellent straightforward video.

[@marciapatriceganeles-kisli4373]

Very well done. Thank you for your video and the advice to check the frames regularly. I've never done that and I have art that has been in our family for over 70 years! Time to do that (and replace some of the old faded mats, etc.). Yay for felt bumpers.

[@panoslianosriga]

Thanks! Was hanging up a mirror and got the job done thanks to your clip!

[@KenR208]

Nicely done instructional clip, very precise and clear - that slip knot is essential.

[@nerdy989898]

This video is an example of how to do a great dyi video. Thank you!

[@Accessangel]

Simple, clear, easy to follow instruction. Excellent. Thank you!

[@jennydoomsday]

Thank you so much! I was so nervous to hang my mother's mirror and I feel like it's super sturdy. I'm so excited! Thank you.

[@ericahorton2162]

Thanks so much for posting this. This was super helpful!

[@malcoexclamation]

Thanks for this video. It gave me exactly what I need to know. Love your work.

[@mstephen215]

Absolutely perfect video. Spot on every time!

[@TheOneTrueErica]

Thank you for this. The D-rings were mystifying to me so it's a tremendous help to see how you secure them with the wire.

[@nychino407]

Are D rings good for mirrors above 50 pounds??

[@notrealjustin]

Nothing prepared me for what was framed

[@dhampirmike]

I had no idea what I was doing before watching this. Thank you! This was really helpful!

[@janiceteo2205]

Thanks so much for this clear and helpful video!

[@fpgirard]

Great video - 5 minutes of excellent tips.

[@maresartllc9007]

Thank you so much, this is incredibly helpful! I review every time just to make sure I don't miss anything.

[@trippplefive]

what did people do before youtube? thanks for this video, sir. much appreciated.

[@newhorizons8607]

Very clear and concise instructional post - thank you! Can I please ask what gauge of coated wire you use here? Your web site just shows by weight (19.5 or 9.1kg). I purchased 1.5mm coated and it is impossible to bend let alone tie up! (So it was returned). Your video shows a very workable hanging wire. Appreciate your help - greetings from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@billyboybliss]

Clear and thorough. Thanks.

[@lowellgallery629]

In art school and at a local framing workshop years ago, I was taught that twisting the wire into tight coils as shown in the video above -- while it looks nice -- doesn't actually help with the stresses involved in a picture hanging from a wire, and that the correct way is not too loose and not too tight. Too loose and it defeats the purpose of coiling around the center wire in the first place. But somewhere in the middle with enough gap is the best way "as dictated by physics"... allegedly. Something to do with maximizing surface area and tension. Has anybody ever heard of this? My coworkers twist very tight coils (nice looking) and I twist looser coils. None of us have ever had a picture fall because of wiring, and I personally have hung probably over 1000 frames over the span of 7 years of wiring and hanging art in exhibitions, shows and galleries. Not to mention that until I started my own frame shop, I never did an actual knot. Just one loop through and then a semi-loose series of twists. This makes it very convenient for people who actually hang the work (so they can adjust as necessary).

[@AV-yp7yc]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for your straightforward explanation.

[@gsk926]

This was helpful. I was at loss how to get it done. Thanks for the nice step by step.

[@USA-2491]

Easy peasy. Thank you very much😇. Perfection.

[@RuttRo]

Thank you so much for this video!!! Helped me a ton!

[@dbmusicproductions9181]

[@bassman3834]

Great video. Easy to understand. Thank you.

[@jackstraw8145]

Very good explanation. Thanks

[@Willowtree260]

Thank you for this video. I bought picture wire today that is vinyl coated, but it is impossible to bend. Can you tell us what gauge the wire is that you're using? I tried to email you but the link doesn't work.....maybe because I am in the US. Thanks for any help you can offer!

[@droger6490]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@yellowsteph]

So very helpful! Thank you for the information, and great visuals!

[@rebeccadyck298]

Thank you! I didn’t know about the knot!

[@shadoninja]

Used this today and it was all sound advice thanks!

[@AllYourBlocks]

This is a great video! Good content, well delivered - and does exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks for putting it together!

[@bevturquoise4651]

BRILLIANT!! thanks so much.

[@vexorg00]

Will the same knot work for a very heavy picture frame or mirror? Around 45-60 pounds?

[@2LazyLeslie]

Yeah. You just have to buy a wire that can hold up to 50 lbs. I just hung a 40 lbs mirror and I used one that can hold up to a 100 lbs., just in case.

[@anthonybot7165]

that was my ? thanks for asking it. cheers

[@terrylee5659]

Great instructional video! Also, I got a kick out of some of the comments!

[@anthonybot7165]
