Wow i love it, i learned how to wire my paintings just recently and wasn't sure about how to hang them, and if my technique was ok. Very instructive!

Thanks Jodie for the instructions. It drives me crazy seeing paintings hung too high. I have just eye balled it in the past so I appreciate the 60” on centre rule! It is my experience to make the wire a bit longer than what Jodie has used especially if it is heavy or if it is framed with glass. Also, braided wire vinyl coated will be appreciated by your client as it avoids scratch marks on the wall. This may be on the PDF but if not it is just tips I am passing on.

Hi Jodi! I just hung my group show and made one additional mistake you haven't mentioned. When using the hangars, make sure the bottom of the hanger is at the hanging mark (in your example 11 inches). So, the bottom of the hanger would be at 11 inches. If you use the mark where the top of the hanger is, then you'll be off by the length of your hangar (maybe an inch or so, but it can make a difference, especially when you're hanging a grouping). If what I'm saying is inaccurate, please feel free to correct me. Also, thanks so much for your wonderful videos and podcast. I always learn something valuable. Happy holidays!
