Misc. tips when choosing which option to use
A lot of people think that you need a drill and a saw to hang pictures on the wall. This is not true! You do need a nail, though.
If you’re using option 1, make sure to use ladders so you don’t damage your staircase while hanging your art.
Paint will always peel if you use option 4, so only use it if you know the piece will stay in its place for at least 3 years.
Option 1: Hang your art on the railing
The first option is to hang your art on the railing. This can be tricky because you will need to buy a nail and screw the nail in the railing where you want to hang things. If you’re not very handy, this might not be an ideal solution for you.

If you’re looking for a way to hang your art that’s semi-permanent, try hanging it with a tension rod.
A tension rod is typically used as an adjustable curtain rod. They come in various lengths and can be found at large home improvement stores or online. You’ll also need a heavy duty adhesive and heavy duty hooks (the type you use for curtains).

Option 4: Hanging your art on the wall without damaging it
Supplies:
-Several small nails or pushpins
-A picture hanger that can hold your weight
-An old belt, ribbon, or string
-Tape measure
-Pencil/pen/marker
1) First, measure the space where you want to hang your art. Add about 3 inches for wiggle room. Then, use the tape measure to mark off where your nail will go at each end of the staircase wall. You’ll need to do this on both sides of the wall if it’s a two-way staircase.
2) Get out your old belt and set it against the wall just below one of your marks. The width of the belt should be aligned with the mark you drew on the wall for that section. Trace around it with pencil or pen so you know exactly where to put your nail when you hang up the art piece.
3) Tie one end of the string/belt to one side of the picture hanger and then tie it securely to hanging spot on your painting (or art piece). Now do the same thing with the other side before tying both ends together in a loop to create a hanger for your work. Finally, attach them securely onto either side of.
