Copy machine can help save you from holes

Many homes improvement projects involve hanging decorative items, such as photo frames or shelving.

Homeowners frequently wrestle with nails, screws and hanging hardware, perhaps creating more holes in their walls than is necessary to get items level and in the right spots.

Instead of playing a guessing game of figuring out where the hanging holes or hooks are located on the back of items, use your office equipment to make life easier.

Make a copy of the back of the item you're trying to hang with a multifunction printer, making sure to copy the item to full scale.

Print the copy at full size and use it to drill the hanging holes.
