It can be hard to hang large pieces by yourself if you struggle with measuring level and you are not a professional. So one kinda goofy way to hang stuff is to use the toothpaste method.

Toothpaste can help you easily, temporarily mark where nail holes go. It is especially useful for marking how far apart holes should be on the wall.

You just put a dab of toothpaste on your piece's hooks...

Hold the painting up to the wall where you want it to hang and put it flush against the wall so the toothpaste blopps onto the wall...

hard to see, but blow it up

Pound nails into the blopps of toothpaste....

Wipe the toothpaste off the wall and off the piece's hooks with a damp paper towel.

And then...hang!

This looks nice. My living room isn't that Steveny, but my Steven jackets are on chairs here, there's one other Steven art and a Rose Quartz flag on a flagpole, and my SU books are on a bookshelf in this room.

It's not usually like this tbh. I just dressed it up for you.

It's most of my plushies on the bed. They are usually elsewhere but I wanted them to help celebrate the new art.

Hooray! Glad I finally hung them.
