Velcro strips
Velcro strips are great for hanging photos and other wall decorations. These strips are beautiful and easy to remove. They come with a peel tab that makes it easy to take off without leaving any residue.
These strips can be used without damaging walls to hang heavy or light-weight framed photos. These strips can be used with metal, wood, or drywall.

Use interlocking hooks if you are using velcro strips. If the hooks are not interlocking, your picture may fall. You might need several strips depending on the size and complexity of your image. You should make sure you have enough room to attach all the Velcro tapes.
Screws
If you have the right hardware, hanging pictures on walls can be easy. First, determine the dimensions and size of your photo. This will help you determine the number of screws and wall type that your picture will be mounted on. Also measure the distance between your wall and the edge of the image. Support will be required for larger images.
A monkey hook might be a good option to hang pictures that are too heavy to hang with screws. Easy to use, monkey hooks can support up to 50 pounds. You will need to first mark the spot on the wall using a pencil. After marking the spot with a pencil, you can push the hook into drywall to create a hole.
Crossbars
Crossbars that are used to hang pictures on walls have slots in the upper and lower ends. This allows for objects to be hung. Crossbars can have holes that can adjust to place the object where it is secure. The slot is usually rectangular in shape and measures from end to end.
If the picture isn’t too big, you can hang it. If the picture is more than five pounds you will need to use a drill or a screw. You should ensure that the nail does not penetrate too deep into the wall. Wall anchors can be used if you have a brick wall or concrete wall.
