Wiring Back of Picture Frame

1. Turn the clips so they are facing each other. Make sure they are taut because you don't want them spinning once the wire is on.

2. Take the wire and stretch it out to see how much length you have.

3. Pull the wire through one clip and coil the wire around wrapping it tight. Repeat this for the other clip.

4. Make sure the wiring does extend past the top of the frame so none of the wire will show when you hang the picture.

5. For a greater measure of security you can tape the clips.
