Product Tips and Tricks
You'll want to keep this art piece away from moisture and direct prolonged sunshine to keep it safe so you can continue to enjoy it for years to come. These are made for indoor use unless it can be protected from these elements.
There is a "correct" side to hang most of these pieces. In the pictures I take of the art, they are facing in the direction I designed them to be hung in. Also, there are often flaws on the back side, if you look closely. (scorch marks that change the look of the line, flaws in the wood from having to finish cutting out pieces by hand). However, if you're lucky, you'll get a piece that is flawless on both sides and can choose which direction you'd like to face it.
I like to use nails to secure these to the wall, because they keep them flat to the wall, and are discreet enough to often not see them there. (I use 1.25 inch. Sometimes you can even find them in wood colors to match, or black). If you would prefer, I've also used command hooks successfully and they look great hung that way as well.
Most of my art has a hole in it that is the best to balance the art in the right way. In some animals, som designs are created inside them in a way that lets you know when the piece is hung in the "correct" position. For instance, when the bats hanging in the cave inside of my Hanging Bat are hanging straight down, you know this piece is hung correctly. (of course in the end, this is entirely up to you)
If your piece is warping (bending) away from the wall and bothers you, you can use another nail to secure that side down, or you can even use a small amount of mounting putty!
For my wall art accents, I use mounting putty. I would not suggest using the putty I've used to affix them to the packaging, as it will be covered in carboard and likely won't stick again. I like to use scotch or gorilla brands, but there are many to choose from. Evenly distribute small pieces in 2-3 different spots on the back of the animals, then press firmly to the wall for about 30 seconds.
