How to Hang a Puzzle with STAS Picture Hanging Systems
Completing a puzzle is a satisfying experience, and you may want to preserve and display it as a lasting work of art. STAS Picture Hanging Systems makes it easy to hang puzzles securely and stylishly, transforming your completed masterpiece into a unique piece of wall decor. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to hang a puzzle with STAS hanging solutions.
Step 1: Prepare Your Puzzle for Hanging
- Glue the Puzzle Together – To ensure the pieces stay intact, apply a thin, even layer of puzzle glue across the front surface. Allow it to dry completely, then flip the puzzle and apply glue to the back for added stability.
- Mount the Puzzle on a Backing Board – Use a foam board or sturdy cardboard as a backing. Slightly larger than the puzzle itself, the board provides stability. Adhere the puzzle using strong adhesive spray or glue for secure attachment.
- Frame Your Puzzle (Optional) – Framing adds a polished look and protection, but for a frameless, floating effect, you can skip this step.
Step 2: Choose the Right STAS Hanging System
STAS offers various rail systems to securely and stylishly display your puzzle. Choose from our popular STAS Cliprail System or the slim STAS Minirail System for a clean, contemporary look.
- STAS Cliprail – Versatile and easy to install, this rail system is ideal if you want a display that can support multiple pieces, allowing you to add other artwork alongside your puzzle.
- STAS Minirail – This minimalist rail provides an understated look that’s perfect for hanging puzzles without a frame, keeping the focus on your creation.
Step 3: Install the STAS Hanging System and Attach Adhesive Hangers
- Position and Install the Rail – Measure your wall and determine the optimal height for the puzzle. Use a level to ensure the rail is straight. Drill holes and secure the rail with screws.
- Attach Hooks, Cords, and Adhesive Hangers – For puzzles without a frame, we offer adhesive hangers that can be attached directly to the backboard. Simply stick the adhesive hangers onto the backboard, allowing them to hold the puzzle securely in place.
- Use Adjustable Hooks and Cords – Connect STAS cords and hooks to the rail. Our adjustable hooks allow easy fine-tuning of height, giving you complete control over the puzzle’s positioning.
Step 4: Hang the Puzzle
- Attach the Puzzle to Hooks and Cords – Use either the adhesive hangers on the backboard or attach the hooks directly to the puzzle frame. Adjust the hooks to ensure the puzzle hangs level.
- Fine-Tune Placement – The adjustable hooks make it simple to change the height or position if needed.
