Do you have a picture that for some reason leans to the left or right even after being leveled just a day earlier. I have a couple easy fixes you can use to get the ‘ghost’ out of your house. I tried a new trick on a particularly determined crooked picture, I put a little piece of duct tape on the wire were the wire meets the hook. I folded the duct tape over the wire so that the tape was completely folded over itself. The tape makes a soft unyielding surface on the wire that makes it very difficult for the Ghost of Christmas Past to lean your paintings.

If you have a painting/picture that either does not have a wire or you don’t want to use duct tape, use sticky tack poster hanger. You can find this at any teacher store or Wal-mart. Roll-up a piece of sticky tack about the size of a dime, then place it on the middle-bottom area of the picture that touches the wall. Sticky tack is a convenience adhesive made for teachers. It is usually used to hang posters in the classroom (they are usually changed frequently) without thumb tacks. The sticky tack will act as a second fastener for your picture, and will hold it in place…
