How to Frame a Picture: Tying Cord

Transcribed audio from How to Frame a Picture: Tying Cord

Sarah from Framing Online is going to show you how to attach your tri-hangers and tie your cord off. For this you'll have your cord and your tri-hangers in your bag. You're going to need a Phillips screwdriver just to attach your two tri-hangers.
Both for portrait and landscape we will have shown you the correct point a third of the way down from your framed image to hang your frame on the wall. Screw the tri-hangers into the appropriate holes for portrait or landscape hanging with the triangle ring facing inwards. Tie one end of the cord to the left-hand side tri-hanger with a basic overhand knot. Repeat 3 times. This firmly secures it to the tri-hanger. Sarah is going to feed the remaining cord through the right-hand side tri-hanger and back through the left-hand side. We will give you a very long piece of cord so feel comfortable just pulling it tight there should be plenty there. And use your scissors just to trim it up to make it easy to tighten. To maintain tension while tying off grasp both cords at the left-hand side. Repeat the overhand knot including both cords and repeat four to five times. Cut the excess cord off. And this will secure your framed item safely and tidily ready for hanging.

[Please note: The term "D-ring", as mentioned in our previous video, and "tri-hanger", used in this video, both refer to the same thing.]
