For hanging pictures, drawings or decorations on the walls is usually done through the purchase of hooks of the image. This can be as simple as a nail and hook hanger or as complicated as the nails more than a hook. Hangers that are not holes in the wall are also available as: adhesive tabs secured with a hook, or Velcro attachments to the new 3M Command hooks. All these solutions to your hanging a decoration have a space. Unfortunately, the methodsdesigned to attach decorations without holes, can be very expensive.
They are hung with a solution that my family used to hang pictures for years, and since I'm an engineer by training, I created a table to help keep the load of this system. These charges include a safety factor of 04:01, the suspension actually contain four times as much as in the table means that you should keep up with the value of the table.
Stained Glass Window Decals
The hangingSolution I used is the common hand sewing needle. A package of sewing needles of various sizes (gauge) can be purchased at any craft or yardage. You can even get some over-all around your home. Sewing needles are stainless steel and heat treated to increase its strength. Because the needle to harden steel, eye protection should guide the needle into the wall, if the eye of the needle eventually be broken.
The position of the bracketshould be marked on the wall so the decoration will be level and in the correct place. This location should take into account the distance from the decorations hanging location to its top edge. The needle can be held with a pair of pliers, then be driven into the wall on a slight upwards angle. This angle will allow the portion of the needle sticking out of the wall to hold whatever is hung on it and keep it next to the wall. The minimum stick out of the needle should be 1/4", which will be enough to engage the decoration that is being hung.
Needles are easily driven in walls where gypsum board (drywall) is used without having to look for the stud. Most houses built after 1975 have gypsum board walls. When the needle is removed it leaves a very small hole, which can be easily filled if need be. The safe load for a decoration versus the needle gauge is shown in Table I.
Table I - Needle Gauge No. Versus Safe Shear Load
• Gauge No. - 30, Diameter (in) = 0.0100, Load (lbs) = 1
• Gauge No. - 29, Diameter (in) = 0.0113, Load (lbs) = 2
• Gauge No. - 28, Diameter (in) = 0.0129, Load (lbs) = 2
• Gauge No. - 27, Diameter (in) = 0.0142, Load (lbs) = 3
• Gauge No. - 26, Diameter (in) = 0.0159, Load (lbs) = 4
• Gauge No. - 25, Diameter (in) = 0.0179, Load (lbs) = 5
• Gauge No. - 24, Diameter (in) = 0.0201, Load (lbs) = 6
• Gauge No. - 23, Diameter (in) = 0.0226, Load (lbs) = 7
• Gauge No. - 22, Diameter (in) = 0.0253, Load (lbs) = 9
• Gauge No. - 21, Diameter (in) = 0.0258, Load (lbs) = 11
• Gauge No. - 20, Diameter (in) = 0.0320, Load (lbs) = 14
• Gauge No. - 19, Diameter (in) = 0.0359, Load (lbs) = 18
• Gauge No. - 18, Diameter (in) = 0.0403, Load (lbs) = 23
As can be seen from Table I, a 25 or lower gauge needle will safely carry a 5 lb shear load, which is load applied to the needle when driven into the wall for hanging a decoration. If your decoration has less weight such as Holiday Bows, Ribbons, small plastic decorations, etc., then a higher gauge needle will do the job.
