1) Choose the size of your picture carefully. In other words, try not to

hang a small picture on a large wall. It will look lost. On the other

hand, don't put a large picture onto a small wall. It will make

your room look crowded and smaller than it actually is.

2)  Hang heavy objects on a stud. If you try to hang a heavy picture

directly on drywall, it will have an excellent chance of falling,

tearing a huge chunk out of the wall and falling on

someone's head. 

3) Choose an appropriate hook. You may want a two-piece nail & hook, 

a hollow wall anchor or just a plain old nail pounded into 

a stud (Clint's preferred method).

4) Hang your picture and straighten it.

Here are some hanging options...

You can sometimes hang a really light picture from a push-pin stuck 

into the wall. 

Light pictures can also be hung from hooks that are attached to adhesive 

(the adhesive sticks to the wall and holds your picture).
