Sometimes, even when the level says it is level–it is just barely off after you already drove in your anchor and the screw and hung your frames next to each other and looked back. Perhaps one of life’s biggest frustrations. Sometimes it is due to driving your screw into the bottom or top of the mark instead of right in the center. Â Or maybe your level failed you completely. Â Either way, this is my little trick I pull out when that annoying situation occurs.
A cotton swab! It boosts the frame or wire–I’ve even used it to bump a curtain rod up just a tad so that it’s level.  This tip is golden when adjusting the screw such a small amount would compromise the entire hole making one gigantic hole–you. know! This weekend, I pulled out my cotton swabs twice (the shame!) and I thought it was about time to share that little trick that has saved my sanity too many times.
If you haven’t guessed it from the photos above, the living room got some new art. Â Let’s chat about that tomorrow.
Ps. Chris is spilling about a light and fresh dessert you’re gonna want to make all summer over on his blog–so unique!
this is brilliant!!
Great idea. I cut up 3m command Velcro strips in tiny pieces to use centre bottom of all my frames. This stops them from shifting but also allows me to fudge the levelness or alignment if I need to.

This is genius. Pinning!
great idea….
Genius! No more Swiss cheese walls for me haha
Hahaha. If you could only see what is behind some of our frames.
