# Hanging a Picture With a Fishing Line
Hanging a picture with fishing line can mean the difference between your picture falling on the floor with glass shattering everywhere, and having art you can enjoy for years. Most standard photo frames come with a wire or thin string tied to each end loop on the backing, but this isn't as sturdy as durable fishing line.
