There are times when we have a nice decorative wall-hanging gifted to us.
To fix it on the wall, we need to call the handy man to drill a hole and fix a nail.
All these hassles make us pack the decorative item and have it ready to be gifted it to someone else ;-)
Here is a method with which we can fix it on the wall without any screws or nails.
Best of all, it can be done by you in 10 minutes.
I learnt this method from Mr.Suresh in A block. He has fixed items that weigh as much as 500 gms.
This can be typically used for items that weigh less. Here in the example the wall-hanging weighs about 250 gms.
This needs to be removed.
Check for vertical and horizontal alignment and fix it to the wall.
Apply pressure after fixing.
Calling the handyman is the easiest way; but I have always felt, if you want to get something done right, then Do-it-Yourself!

Do-it-Yourself (DiY):
Most of the basic house hold repairs, maintenance and installations can be done with a basic knowledge of how things work and a decent amount of common sense. Using the right tools and taking sufficient precaution will ensure that you do not injure yourself in the process.Calling the handyman is the easiest way; but I have always felt, if you want to get something done right, then Do-it-Yourself!
