Hang Glass Spiral Wall Artwork

Although some glass spiral wall artwork may provide hangers on the back, many glass spiral artwork pieces do not have appropriate spacers to hide wall hangers. Instead, the artwork is just a series of wrapping metal with no designated way to hang it. The artwork must be hung without an attached hanger. You can hang glass spiral wall artwork by a couple of methods, depending upon the look you would like to achieve.


Instructions


Hook Hangers


1. Hold the glass spiral wall artwork up to the wall in the location where you would like the artwork to hang. Mark two or more locations on the artwork that have mostly horizontal pieces that could be hung from a hook. Use a pencil to mark along the bottom of each of these locations.


2. Put the artwork down. Attach the hangers to the wall using the hardware provided, according to the directions included. If you have drywall, make sure you use the supplied wall anchors.


3. Hang the glass spiral artwork on the hooks. Place one horizontal piece of the metal into each hook and gently lower the artwork to hang against the wall.


Wire Photo Hanger


4. Hold the glass spiral wall artwork up to the wall where you want to hang it. Look for two sturdy pieces of the metal artwork that sit horizontally across from each other at roughly the same level on the artwork.


5. Attach the ends of a wire photo hanger to the artwork in these two locations by wrapping the wire end around a piece of metal several times. If the artwork is especially heavy, add super glue to the back of the wire and allow it to dry fully to hold the artwork firmly in place once hung.


6. Pull the center of the wire up to a point at the top of the glass spiral artwork so that it creates a triangle above the top of the artwork. Mark the point at the top of the wire.


7. Secure the hook provided with the wire photo hanger into the wall so when the wire is hung from the hook, the artwork hangs at the level you want it to on the wall. Place the point of the wire on the hook, and carefully slide the wire right or left on the hook to level the artwork on the wall.
