I have a laser level that I’d like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I’m doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I’d rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?
Some good suggestions already, but I would also keep in mind that you can put a nail in the wall right behind where you’re going to be hanging up one of the pictures. It’s a small hole, and there’s no immediate need to paint the patch since it’s going to be hidden behind a frame anyway.
Thanks for the idea, I appreciate it.
A tripod is what I use. Laser levels have the same threads in them than cameras do. There’s also stands for them which you pin between the floor and ceiling and can then place the laser at any height aswell as wall-mounts with magnets and stuff but all this seems a bit excessive for hanging a picture. Perhaps use a bubble level and a measuring tape instead?
The tripod idea is a good one. I’d suggest just stacking a bunch of stuff up on a table or chair. Or, if you have a tape measure, mark a control line around the perimeter with painters tape and measure up from there.
Could you use a command strip or something?
You can’t really go wrong with duct tape.
Unless of course you don’t want to pull the paint off your wall.
Just use painters tape/masking tape. If you want to get fancy gaffer tape.
