One of my new favorite things {Tap N' Hang}

The walls are finally getting decorated around here. It's funny how I couldn't wait to start decorating, yet it has been one of the hardest things for me to do. I was so stuck on what to hang and how to hang them.
And then one day it just came to me and the next thing I knew I was banging tiny holes in our walls and hanging frames. I should have been more organized and pre-hung pieces of paper so I could see where I wanted the frames to go ahead of time, but I was too impatient and just wung it. Sometimes that just works for me.
In the past I used screws or nails to hang our picture frames by. But a few weeks ago I found these Tap N' Hangs at Walmart and now I have found my new favorite way of hanging pictures.
Seriously, I love these things and they are so easy to use. They have two little spikes that easily anchor into sheet rock or wood studs and can even hold about 25 pounds of weight. Of course I wouldn't hang something that heavy on them, but I would definitely trust something that weighed a good 5 pounds or so.
What I love most about these hangers is how they are so easy to get the exact location for your frame. I just take the Tap N' Hang and slide it into the hanger on the back of the picture frame then hold the picture frame up on the wall in the desired location. Then gently press the Tap N' Hang into the wall to give yourself the exact location of where you want the frame to be. Then take your frame off the wall and tap in the Tap N' Hangs. So quick and easy with great results.
These Tap N' Hangs keep picture frames secure and from moving around too much. In the past I always found myself adjusting and readjusting my frames because they were always moving around on me, but now they stay put.
Really, I love these things! Almost as much as I love my newly decorated walls.
It's so true on how surrounding yourself with things you love can just make you happy. So what do you use to hang your pictures with? Any other great products I need to try?


**And no, I did not get paid at all to post about these Tap N' Hangs. I just wanted to share one of my new favorite things with all of you.**
