      The time my sibling and I made no less than four trips to the same Walmart on the same day because we kept getting the measurements wrong for blinds in the bathroom will attest to the importance of a tape measure 😅. Sad part is, I looked at the tape measure before we moved out from living with our mom, said to myself, "I'm going to put this with other important items because I'm sure we'll need this," and then the dang thing did a disappearing act anyways 😂.
      I think my brother finally had enough and just bought us a new one. I'm not sure if we ever found the original.

    Thank you for these good tips. As temporary renters, hanging artwork is one of the most terrifying things. For some reason we never get it right the first time or make a ridiculously large hole in the wall. We don't have touch up paint here, which is so annoying, even for everyday scuffs, etc. Also, Kiva, you're going to need to become a jack of all trades and give us a makeup tutorial. You look flawless and natural.

      @@passionfruitfruit I know the strips are supposed to be great, but I have a hard time trusting them. We've had a bad experience with them taking off a big chunk of paint - even when done correctly. We do use them on tile or any surface they can't harm. Knowing about the heavy weight hooks might come in handy.

    Remember to only hang lite weight items over head of bed, unless you attach it really good if you live where earthquakes might happen. My brother had an iron horse above his bed, luckily he rolled off the bed when the shaking started, that horse fell and landed in the middle of his pillow. My sisters friend was pregnant and had a plaster wall hanging over her bed. Her husband laid on top of her and that large piece fell on him and scrapped his back.

    But like, you always look great but you are killing it today, ma'am! You had a meeting today or you were just feeling yourself and felt like getting fancy? 😊
    Since this video is on the subject of hanging things, though, I've had an issue with a painting for now over two years and haven't been sure how to handle it. My mom made a painting that she hated, but I loved, so I took it. It's kind of large, situated on something like a 3ft by 4 or 5 foot canvas. But...the canvas is bent. Because of this, it doesn't stay on the wall when I use 3M strips. I'm tired of having heart attacks each time it falls, lol.
    I was thinking of carefully pulling the staples out and framing it somehow. Have you ever heard of someone doing this? Or...given your grandmother is an artist, have you ever heard of a method to straighten out the wooden backing of a canvas?

      Put it at a level where the bottom part is a little over the height of someone's head sitting down or at shoulder's height, but it should a large piece that fits at least half the width of the wall. People subconsciously will avoid leaning on it if you hang it like that.
      Smaller pieces should go above the head a few inches.
