If you are hanging small pictures on the wall the easiest way to accomplish the task is to use small nails.
How to hang pictures on a plasterboard wall.
Mark the spot on the wall above the center of the frame.
Soak a non abrasive washcloth in warm water then place a bead of mild soap on the cloth.
Scrub gently using a circular motion.
Instead hammer the nail at a 45 degree angle for best results.
The ideal solution for hanging pictures on plaster is to use a picture hanging system like the all in one click rail cable hanging kit.
Rub the area of your wall down with your soapy cloth.
Place a hook on the rail directly above the center mark.
Don t try to hammer the nail straight into the wall.
Lay the picture frame face down on a table and place a strip of painters tape or masking tape across the frame just above the eyelet screws.
Work the soap into a small patch of suds on the cloth.
