Step 2 · Mark Template on Wall

Once you are satisfied with the arrangement on your paper template, it's time to transfer it to the actual wall. Use a level and measuring tape to ensure accuracy. Tape the paper template to the wall, aligning it with your desired placement. Then, using a pencil, lightly mark the center point of where each piece of artwork or decorative item will hang. You can also mark the top or bottom edge of each item if that is more helpful for your arrangement. This will serve as your guide for drilling holes.
