What happens in this clip
Once all your nails or anchors are in place, carefully remove the painter's tape and peel the paper template from the wall. The wall should now have precisely placed hanging hardware, ready for your frames. Take your picture frames and hang them one by one onto their respective nails or anchors, matching them to the layout you designed on the paper template. The frames should align perfectly, creating a clean, professional-looking collage.
