Determine the size of J-hooks needed to mount the artwork. The size of the J-hooks depends on the width and weight of the canvas. Large canvas art, more than three feet wide, may need more than two J-hooks to properly hold the piece.
Determine where the artwork should be mounted on the wall. Artwork should generally be hung at eye level for maximum visual benefit. The J-hooks will be positioned -- at minimum -- in the bottom two corners of the canvas.
Use the stud finder to locate studs in the wall for heavier canvas art or use the drill to drill holes for the anchors to support the extra weight. Insert the anchors into the drilled holes.
Screw the J-hooks into the wall or into the anchors. Insert the J-hook completely prior to use. Rest the unframed canvas art on the J-hooks.
